The First Rhubarb
More grows in the garden than the gardener sows. We had some excitement over the weekend.

On Saturday, I discovered one of the rhubarb…Read more The First Rhubarb

The man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest. ~ Henry David Thoreau Remember when the smallest things would make our day as a child? Like getting a sticker on homework.

Happiness is a mysterious thing, to be found somewhere between too little and too much. ~ Ruskin Bond The past few days have been extremely hot in the PNW.
