Home at last! Hi everyone! Are you tired of reading "Wretched Credit Cards?" It was an unfortunate blog to leave on, I guess!
I thought that the minute my job ended, I would be online blogging happily. As it turns out, there was so much left undone around the house I had to spend some time getting things in order. It feels as if much has happened in my life in my time away, but when I try to blog it, I realize it’s nothing new! LOL
It feels like Fall around here; crisp, cool mornings when the sky is still blue. I love it. I bought my first pumpkin yesterday (I tried to grow my own in barrels this year and it didn’t work). It’s one of those weeks when everything seems to go smoothly and I am doing my best to enjoy and remember every minute.
After swearing off all garden experiments, and only using tried and true methods (or, traditional) I find myself saving newspapers. I am spreading them several layers thick to use as a weed barrier and then covering with layers of hay. Next, I will cover the whole kit-n-kaboodle with soil and see what happens over the winter.
Next year, I am only planting the things that I know I can grow! And flowers will play a bigger part, too.
Peas, green beans, pumpkins and zucchinis (in mounds not barrels); oh, and tomatoes and lettuce. A few herbs did alright.
Now that Autumn is here, my focus will be more on baking and cooking: Homemade bread, holiday treats, soups and stews. All those comforting things that we so enjoy during the darker months.
My friend Cindee led me to a link that is pretty neat…
You can sign up for a free quarterly e-magazine. I love the recipes in the fall edition.
I am off to read some other posts!
Have a great day!
