I’m sure you’re wondering why I’ve attached a photo of my washing machine and a noticeably sparkling clean laundry room floor. (No, the laundry room has NOT been remodeled,…yet) This is a reprint from a post I on my Aunt’s Blog KTgreendesign.com from August of 2012 – I still have, and love, this machine – but beware […] Read more…
OK, Boys N’ Girls it’s your old pal Mr. Wizard….(Ouch, I’m really dating myself – and not in a good way). Today we’re making household cleaners….No, not like Breaking Bad! Pay attention dammit! 🙂 The other day I told you about how I clean a monumental amount of blueberries, well here’s what I used…I have […] Read more…
It’s May and here that means that it’s U-Pick Season for blueberries ! Yay!! After the commercial harvest is done, the farmers let folks come in on the weekends and pick berries till they wear their fingers blue or wear a hole in their wallets! At $3.00 a pound, it’s not hard to do. But […] Read more…

My favorite specialty veggie vendors have been closed all winter and spring getting ready for May and the annual Fraizer Corn Opening Day. […] Read more…

Last week I put up a post about my Oakleaf Hydrangea that I’d bought the previous year at my favorite local nursery. After reading the post, my Aunt Kathy responded with a note that they’d been closed down. ‘GASP’ Noooo – I had to check this out. Besides, it was Mothers Day weekend and I […] Read more…
Memorial Day is on it’s way! It’s going to be a long, hot summer. In fact, already, yesterday it was HOT! (but not today) A while back I posted this recipe on my Aunt’s Blog ‘A Slice of Life in Perfect‘, after Labor Day, since we’ve got another picnic holiday coming up it came to mind. […] Read more…
Out on a road trip – I couldn’t resist. You’ll smile when you get it. (Hint: it’s one of my all-time favorite movies!!) Happy Hump Day !! Read more…
