Quilting, cooking, reading books, gardening, crafting, sewing, photography and more
Glorious color adorns our driveway with the fall season reaching its peak. The reds and golds are brilliant even in this early dawn view. Fog settles into the valley sometimes, and I love that. This photo was taken two weeks ago, as the colors hit their peaks. When the sun came up over the east …

Spring Cleaning came late this year, it just seemed like winter would never end. But one of the effects of losing a bit of weight is that the closet needs to be purged, a good problem to have, isn't it? I went into how I do this in more detail in a previous post - …
Last week, DH had to go to Lexington, Kentucky to do some work, so once again I packed a bag and tagged along. I had a fun time shopping and sight seeing while he was working. Lexington says it is the horse capital of the world, with much in the town being about the horse. …
One of the wonderful things about warmer weather is the appearance of lovely ripe heirloom tomatoes at my local produce stand. It is on my way home from just about anywhere, so I can stop in easily to see if the tomatoes have come in yet. She has fresh eggs and goat cheese too, so …
Last week another opportunity came up to take a really fast trip with DH. He had a small job to do in Chattanooga, driving over one day and back the next. It was too good to pass up, so again I packed a bag and tagged along. We drove over in the morning, and there …

Guys are really difficult to make gifts for as they don't really go for most of the sewn and crafty items that we gals like to make. I have yet to see any guy actually wear an apron while grilling, but most will be delighted with a gift of something for the grill. Here are …
I have been making eggs for months now, trying to get that perfect point where the yolk is no longer liquid and runny, but not fully cooked like a hard boiled egg. I only do eggs a couple of times a month, always on Sundays. I wanted to make them without a lot of effort, …
