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.

Chris’ speaking engagements have taken us to the Houston area, Dallas, Ft Worth, Weatherford, and San Antonio areas this season so far. Our destination this last weekend was the State Fair of Texas in Dallas where Chris [...]
Speaking and Shipping!
Just when Texans feel they have had it and cannot take any more of the heat and humidity, a breath of cool air descends from the north sending the temps into the low 80’s for the highs and the 50’s for the lows. Energized by the cooler temperatures, Chris and I were working almost until [...]
