Every Summer Has a Story.
While the official first day of summer isn’t until June 21, I think it is safe to get out the flip-flops, grab a beach towel and jump into my favorite season of the year. I have always been a sunshine girl who loves the long summer days, the taste of fresh fruit, family reunions, being…

I love playing Wordle. When I guessed PLANT on my second try, I was elated. I had so many things on my “to-do” list but I decided to set the list aside and headed to the local nursery to look for colorful plants instead. I looked forward to spending time in the warm sunshine, digging…

Red barns flanked by large silos were surrounded by thick groves of hardwood trees, the perfect shelter against the harsh Midwest storms that blew…

Old Barns of Tennessee
Ten weeks ago we left California and headed to our new home in Tennessee to start a new chapter in our lives. This is my first post since we moved. To be honest-it was exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. We loaded up our belongings, said good-bye to family and friends, and started the…
