Before Pi Day is over I am sharing an old post with one of my favorite pies. Just could’t bear to miss out on this unique day. Also there is an interesting story about bees. It’s just about that time of year when we will see honey bees buzzing about and pollinating all our favorite […]
Now that the new site is up I feel so overwhelmed with playing catch up! I hate this feeling. Can’t focus, want to snack, do not need to snack. Feeling concern over whether or not I’m going about it correctly. I am not a genius when it comes to working with the computer and I spend what […]
Do you remember the first time you made an “upside-down” cake? I recall being apprehensive about flipping the cake onto a platter, worried about a first class kitchen calamity.

Late this afternoon the sun came out and the day was warm, windy yet warm. I took a stroll out to see if the bees were out and about and they were. Some flying around and many just hanging out on their porches. I decided to remove all the mouse guards to give them more […]
Ten to one we will all be exposed to some type of illness this time of year. The crud, an infection, a virus, the dreaded flu, colds, coughs, you name it they’re lurking. I’m a bit wiggy about keeping clean hands after being out in public and so should you – be a bit wiggy […]
