Thursday night photo shoot…
I have a funny story to tell, seriously I do. But I am just too tired to be funny. I just did six days straight. It’s spring. I work in a kick ass garden centre. Nuff said. So here I sit watching the finale of American Idol. I am dealing with all the bizarre shit they are playing because [...]

When gardening is toxic…
I will admit right off the top, that until very recently I have never been super conscious about what I eat. I have always been skinny as well as fairly lazy and carefree, so it never really occurred to me to pay that much attention. I just turned 48. I am still fairly lazy and somewhat carefree, but I [...]
What does my garden grow??
Well so far, very little. I am hopeful though. As you saw the other day I have planted Kale. Shit loads of kale. Enough kale to maybe feed all of our neighborhood for the summer. I have a plan. It is to save myself loads of cash by from now on having enough kale to feed my [...]
Planting peas and memories…
I have finally done it. It took me a while, I was having a hard time talking myself into the fact that I wanted to go outside and actually do anything. On Thursday at work, I bought some motivation. Kale. Twelve starter plants. Oh yes I did. Now in case you don’t know, I am [...]
Drying Hydrangeas…for dummies.
Like me. Seriously, I have tried to do this for years. I am not sure whether it has been because of my timing most likely or the fact that maybe I just assumed I knew what I was doing and never actually did google it, but it NEVER worked. The flowers always wilt. And look crappy. [...]
30 Day Photo Challenge~Day Two…Pretty in Pink
I should have used yesterdays picture for today, but of course I have no forethought. So for today, here is my shot. Pretty in Pink indeed. Happy Fall…
Munchie Mondays~Fried Green Tomatoes
So I am cheating, this is a repost, because I can’t find the recipe I am now using on my new site, and they are so damn good… This is one of my all time favorite things to eat, and with summer nearly over and the tomatoes planted but of course not quite ready, its [...]
The Filius Blue Pepper, it’s a beautiful thing…
Fall is here, and now the big thing I am trying to figure out is what the hell am I going to do with all the peppers and tomatoes that we have getting ripe, of course all at the same freaking time. I have been roasting the tomatoes like a maniac and I am getting [...]
Pictures and babbling…
It’s been a couple of crazy days. I have tried to stay away from the computer, mostly because I seem to be insanely electronically challenged right now. That is never good with me. I have actually been a total clusterfuck for the last couple of days….sorry Dad. My wee dog has been a concern today…Bruce [...]
Tat update…it’s just all I’ve got.
Good evening my loves :) hopefully everyone is having a safe and fun Saturday night. Tonight when I was mowing the lawn I realized I still hadn’t posted the pics of the house without the awning or the new garden. I then got sidetracked and never did get the damn picture taken.
Checking in is hard to do…
And I could at least post once a fucking week you would think. I tried last week, really I did. But by the time I am done work, eaten dinner, traveled back and forth from here to Courtenay, cleaned both houses and amused all the amusable boys in my life, meaning Bruce and my children I am [...]
