I decided that this weekend would be the perfect time to participate in Whole Grain Weekends, inspired by the lovely Adrie over at Fields and Fire. Considering that I missed a Wednesday Food Post this past week, I thought it perfect timing and a good excuse to...

You must forgive my lack of a post on Wednesday- I kept trying to find time and space to do it, and there was just none to be found. I will be sure to make up for it next Wednesday. I promise. 🙂

I am a woman that has full...

Things be happening around here. Let’s see… where to start? I’m already fantasizing about gardens. I can’t wait. Each year (of which there have only been 4), I’m more and more excited about the nearing growing season. If it keeps going like this I think I might burst. Sometimes...

It’s been a lovely couple of days. Full of people, food, music… it’s as it should be. Jeff and I were incredibly thankful that we didn’t have to run around like mad like we always do- the schedule just happened to work so much better for us this year....
