Winter Vegetable Garden
We’ve Planted!!!! Yea after 3 weeks of waiting for the rain to stop we (ie: DT) was able to till and plant our winter vegetable garden. As you can see we still have some of our huge Okra plants, and a few pepper plants. They have slowed down a bit so we will probably pull […]
I've got the garden blues
Why is it when you want and desperately need rain, it doesn’t rain, and then when you don’t need rain, it rains everyday for weeks? The past 3 weeks we have gotten so much rain, and we haven’t been able to plant our winter time garden (check out that link its to our garden last […]
a super productive day
Monday morning DT was home I always love when he is home on a Monday, it usually means we will do something fun like go to the mall. See going to the mall is not something I do on a regular basis, like hmm I think I haven’t been to the Mall since the boys […]

Summer Garden week 18
I have missed a few weeks from posting our garden, because in this Texas summer heat mostly everything has started to shrivel up and die. Our cucumbers are gone, and few tomatoes plants. But our Okra, and peppers are thriving, I mean thriving. Our okra plants are literally as tall as I am. They had […]
The view through my lens
Last Saturday started off as any normal day but now I am armed with a new camera, and couldn’t be happier than a kid in a candy store. Seriously I think I have a problem. I take picture after picture, who cares about laundry, or cooking. I just want to take pictures, of anything and […]

Oh also remember I warned you on my picture obsession? This post will not disappoint. We’ve had a rather fruitful week yet again, […]
