Back at the Cabin Again!
Just thought you all might like to know just how creative the Bulb Boy is. We inherited all kinds of interesting goods when John and Erin moved from Tyler this month, Quick Shine all purpose floor cleaner, cilantro in a squeeze tube (new one for me), and sugar free canned cocktail just to name a [...]
Lycoris incarnata
Lycoris across the South are beginning to bloom, but one in particular that we are now growing on the farm is Lycoris incarnata. I was able to give one to a friend in Lafayette this last spring, and here it is blooming in his garden. Thank you for sharing! Remeber, the trick with Lycoris to [...]

Rebecca made sure that I shook the flowers clean before bringing the blooms into the car. Dinner didn’t happen until after eight in [...]
Milking Stool
Insomnia is rarely a problem here at the Red Cabin because there is never a dull moment and always something to do. Rebecca was thrilled to have the shelving system completed yesterday. Used scraps of lumber found on the farm and scavenged from my brother’s home in Tyler. This little guy was working hard alongside [...]
