Winter Wonderland

Just when I thought winter was nearing its end, a big storm came through and dumped a bunch of snow. I took an hour and half drive north and took some pretty pictures. I was wearing my boots that I’ve only worn two times since I bought them four years ago! I rarely have anContinue reading “Winter Wonderland”

Desert Vegetable Garden

(Water, Or The Lack Thereof) I always knew that water was a precious resource, but I figured a smallContinue reading “Desert Vegetable Garden”

Western Purgatories

I have a new travel memoir coming out soon. It’s about going places and doing things. Mostly, though, it’s about learning new topics.

Garden History

I love my garden. It is my happy place, my personal patch of paradise. Pictured above is what my garden looks like now, but that’s not how my garden started. No, my garden started off looking like this: It started off as a patch of weedy grass, random concrete slabs, river rocks, and a rustyContinue reading “Garden History”
