Now that I’ve declared January “orange” month I’m feeling so cheerful, even with the cold, grey, wet days our week started off with. This recipe not only showcases the healthy orange carrot but is full of flavor from freshly zested orange rind. You see I’m still captivated by my new micro-planes and looking for any […]
What could be better than a party full of “Sweet Treats”? I can’t think of a thing! Lisa at “Sweet As Sugar Cookies” invited me to join her party with that delicious Orange Cheesecake. I love a party and I joined right in. Thanks for the invite Lisa! If you have a sweet tooth drop […]
It is January. My bees are supposed to be staying warm and keeping their queen cozy inside the hive. However, of late we’ve had warm temps during the day with sunny, blue skies and mild breezes. They do come out in winter to take “cleansing flights”,
Today I heard the first trill of Cedar Wax-Wings. Winter is a great time to see many species of birds in North Texas. It is sunny and chilly, but a perfect day for the birds to be out and about. Robins are making their presence known as well as Goldfinch, Cardinal, Sparrows of all types, […]

Lately adoring hubby and I are experiencing the pre-empty nester syndrome. With Miss T in her senior year of high school and being employed by the ever popular Starbucks, we don’t see much of her, especially at dinner time. Dinnertime has always been a family affair at our house. Everyone sitting down at the same […]
This week I acquired 2 more bee hives. My man Dan and I removed 2 hives from 2 water shut off boxes, both in the same yard, just a few feet from each other. The entire removal and set up took us about 5 hours. Luckily it was a bit cloudy and cooler on the […]
The last long weekend of summer is upon us and I’m in the mood for Hatch chiles and cooler weather. Labor Day, sends that message of less heat outdoors and more heat on the stove. Traditionally it has been unacceptable to wear white after Labor Day. Do you follow this rule? I tend to follow […]
