My! How Time Flies

So, what do you do to pass the time on a warm summer’s evening? Earlier this week, Chris had me harvesting these pink rain lily seeds. It’s pretty amazing to think that over 1,000 pots were grown from one small brown bag of seeds. During the dating days of last summer, the Bulb Hunter and [...]

Very appreciative of all of the squash donations bestowed on us lately, I packed them in the car with me on the way to Austin and re-gifted them to my gracious hostess. It is challenging to come up with interesting ways to prepare this prolific veggie. Bad memories as a child of mounds of overcooked, [...]

To the Country We Go

Beginning bright and early on Tuesday morning, Chris squeezed in some time separating crinums in the back yard of my parents’ home in Magnolia. Wish I could say that I labored along next to him as the dutiful wife, but I spent the time between the sheets catching up on some needed shut eye after [...]
