Here’s a recap of the best instagrams of last week. If you want the day to day follow me here! We bought a pickup! I’m ashamed to say I doubted the idea at first. Not only is it good for collecting wood and other large things. You can hangout in it too, and maybe even this?!  Meet The DUKE. 1995 Ford 150 XL. I had to buy these radishes at Key Food because they just looked so pretty. Edible roots, yah!! One regret of the summer… not eating at Caracas until […]

Here’s a recap of the best instagrams of last week. If you want the day to day follow me here! I spent most of last week at Lake George Great Escape with my sisters, nephews and nieces. It was so much fun! The campground is great for kids. There are lots of activities, a pool, and swimming lakes. There’s a restaurant/bar for the adults and golf carts! We visited the village of Lake George which has even more to do. We made a stop at  Fort William Henry and took a steam boat ride on the lake.  Matt […]

Above is pomegranate yarrow. This rich color works so well with the purples (russian sage, cat mint) and yellows (day lilies) already in my garden. yarrow is very easy to care for. if you deadhead the old flowers more will grow throughout the summer.

I spent sometime on Long Island this weekend hanging out with my friends. Good times! Thanks for the cowboy hats Tara! Here’s Obama having a lazy […]

Here’s a recap of the best instagrams of last week. If you want the day to day follow me here! I wrote about my cat in The Wave this week. Is that nepotism? Yellow woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta) is labeled a weed but it’s beautiful. I’m letting it grow in my garden. And it’s edible: All parts of the plant are edible, with a distinct tangy flavor (common to all plants in the genus Oxalis). However, it should only be eaten in small quantities, since oxalic acid can bind up the body’s supply of […]
