A lady from church named Mrs. Boyd brought this tortilla soup over following some important event in my family’s history. Was it when my mom came home from the hospital after giving birth to my baby brother in 2000, or was it after my dad shattered his elbow while riding in the MS150? I couldn’t [...]

Welcome Back to the Old Grind
Call me crazy but one of the best parts of returning from the Christmas holidays is unpacking and settling back into a good old comfortable routine. Not getting back to work mind you, just putting things back in order, and sleeping in your own bed, etc. It does help to take advantage of your Momma’s [...]
December, where did you go?
From shipping Gift Sets and Heirloom Bulbs for Today books, to building shelving, counting inventory, and cleaning out sheds, December has been a flurry of activity! We managed to squeeze in several of our own merry making activities in amongst the demands of the business. Bonfires, trimming a tree we cut down from our backyard, [...]

Fall Speaking, Paperwhites, and Shrimp
This last week I spent many hours strapped in the passenger seat alongside the Bulb Hunter in the blue truck. When the Charleston Horticultural Society invited Chris to speak as a guest lecturer for their November meeting, he excitedly agreed. Knowing that I had never visited Charleston before, Chris decided that we needed to explore [...]
New Boots!
Nothing like a new pair of boots to lift the spirits this Monday morning! My last pair was a gift on the occasion of my ninth birthday from my mom and dad. I wore those navy Justin ropers everywhere, to church, to the creek, to the cliffs, to town, to the barn. Somewhere buried in [...]
Sweet Potato Pie
The Bulb Hunter touched on the Golden Sweet Potato Festival in his last post. For a community of 200 in a small Texas town without even a flashing yellow light, the festival is a pretty big deal and worthy of a blog post in my opinion. Area residents have celebrated their agricultural livelihood with a [...]
