I don’t know what it is about the joy seeing hummingbirds brings. I have to keep my self from jumping up and down and squealing each time I see the tiny birds drinking from the feeder outside my kitchen window. I enjoy the challenge of finding unique thrift store finds for my home. I think it’s safe to say, this find is unique. When I stumbled across this item at Goodwill, you know I had to buy it for my little bird friends. I could be wrong, but in my mind, this is a hummingbird feeder for a flower pot. There is no hole in the end of the spike so it can’t be a drip waterer for a plant. Maybe it’s just a shelf decoration? If I’m wrong about it being a hummingbird feeder, enjoy a chuckle at my crazy imagination and leave a comment on this post...

BACK PATIO REVEAL
08/07/2023
It took a year and a half from start to finish but it’s finally done (almost). You can see HERE where we started. I can’t express to you how much I love the back patio. I literally spend every evening and many lunch breaks out here nine months out of the year. I look around at what we have accomplished since we’ve owned this house and dream of what is still to come. Life is good. The back patio is broken up into multiple outdoor living areas. In the main sitting area I wanted plenty of seating options with room for all humans and pets. The pavers still need to be sealed to bring out the colors in the stone but we can’t seem to get a weekend stretch without rain. Instead of holding out, I decided to go ahead and enjoy the patio until fall. When we put...

HOMEGROWN GIFTS FROM THE GARDEN
08/01/2023
‘Tis the time of summer when gardens are overflowing with vegetables and herbs and flowers are bursting. While my tomatoes are slow this year, our neighbors have tomatoes coming out of their ears. They have been brining over bags of tomatoes every night. Not wanting any fresh produce to go to waste, I spent a few hours last weekend making a large batch of homemade spaghetti sauce. I looked up various spaghetti sauce recipes and combined a few to create my own sauce. Ten pounds of tomatoes along with fresh basil, parsley, onions and garlic from my garden simmered together to make four jars of preservative-free, zero added sugar goodness. After a delicious Sunday dinner of spaghetti and homemade crusty bread, I froze two jars of sauce for later use. I thanked the neighbors for sharing their tomato harvest with the final jar along with a bunch of fresh...
