A little of this and that for the April 2024 potpourri. Outdoor Living I spend as much time outdoors as I can. The weather we have now is the reason we live in Arizona. Perfect. Even in retirement, our days feel so busy. So taking a Friday morning to enjoy a bike ride and a […]
This week seemed like equal time in the kitchen and outdoors. I can tell you what I prefer. Zero time in the kitchen. But. Darn it, I like to eat. Nothing earth shattering to report, but here is how we spent our early March week. Bringing a little outdoors into my kitchen, Traders has daffodils! […]
Nothing in particular, but here are a few things this February to chat about. Outdoor activities I know everyone is not as keen as we are here to get out and enjoy the mild weather. But we have been hiking, walking, eating and even playing cards outside. I treated myself to a breakfast burrito at […]

Chatting about this and that for October 2023 Potpourri before the month completely gets away from us. Sedona We took a quick trip to Sedona this week to enjoy the mountain views and perfect weather.

The beginning of June seems like the appropriate time to do a summer kitchen refresh. To lighten things up a bit, I added some faux citrus. The small PB lemon tree (Amazon version here) went into a cute white basket and on top of my pet feed cabinet and under my beautiful Buc-ees chicken. BTW, […]
Out of control jasmine plants that had outgrown their adorable dragonfly trellises inspired us to a new project – DIY Tall Trellises. And guess what? Trellises are expensive. And tall ones are really expensive. Social media to the rescue. I watched a YT video where a family made a beautiful large trellis from a livestock […]
The absolute cutest raised garden bed with a shelf and wheels and hooks appeared on the Walmart feed and spoke to me. My herbs were saying, “We need this new home!” Walmart seems to have really upped their outdoor game the past couple of years. Each time I see the perfect outdoor seating set or […]
Often on my walk to the gym or immediately after my workout on the beautiful club patio, I will take a moment to pray. I’ve shared my special prayer place with you before, but mainly anytime I’m alone in nature, I feel like reaching out to God. And sometimes God reaches back. No, I’m not […]
