Drying Herbs & a Colonial Recipe

For the past couple of years I have been bringing my herb cuttings indoors to dry for use over the winter, but this year I decided to take it one step further and add some foliage and flowers to the mix in the hopes of making my own potpourri. Anyone ever done this before? Tips…

What are you waiting for?

I’ve decided to stop. Stop waiting for the right time to post pictures. Or write about all the things. I have so many ideas and want-to’s that I think I get bogged down with them all and end up not getting to any of them.  Anyone else ever feel like this? Life is busy. Crazy…

Crabbers are Crazy & Lemon-Lavender Pound Cake

We had a really big rain/wind storm the other day and I learned something new…   Crabbers, (Watermen? Fishermen? Guys who go out on boats and drop pods for crab…Crabbers?) whatever you want to call them, are simply crazy! Nuts! Loco! Ya’ll, I watched their boats bounce back and forth, to and fro, side to…

Our New-Old-Farmhouse!

You’re back, yay! Ready to see the inside of our new-old-farmhouse? Great! But first, why don’t you grab a few boxes and help a girl out, ha! Too bad it doesn’t work like that. Want to hear a funny story? It goes like this… It was a dark and windy night (I’m afraid of the…

BURRO’S CHRISTMAS WISH: A Holiday Contest Tale

  Hooray for Christmas! Hooray for Santa! Hooray for twinkling pine trees, and hot cocoa, and chocolate-candy-fudge filled with nutty-nougat centers topped with marshmallow-creme snowman blobs and twisted peppermint candy-cane crush! Sorry, that got a little winded and weird, but I can’t help it, it’s Christmastime and I am giddy about every last bit of…

Early Summer Garden

  I’m trying to learn new things. Figuring out short music videos just happens to be one of those things. How to eat just one slice of chocolate sheet cake at a time is another. But one can never really learn two new things at once, right? So, here’s my first attempt at a short…

Oh my goodness it’s Sprinter!

I sure wish Mother Nature would figure out if it’s spring or winter, I’m ready for flowers!!! Come on Woman I can’t take much more of this cold weather!!! . . . Do not send me hate mail when I’m complaining about the heat in a couple of months, I don’t want to hear it!…

Analyze This!

  Any good at analyzing dreams? Yes? Great! Here ya go, analyze this… What does it mean when you dream you’re part of the Trump team, it’s inauguration day, you run into Kung Fu Fighters just after watching your vehicle blow up (it was your dream vintage Land Rover), and you realize, as you’re sitting…
