It seems like such a long time since we last sat down and had coffee together and shared ideas. I was away last weekend and didn’t have the opportunity to share with you so I guess maybe that’s why it feels like it’s been so long.
I’ve been spending a lot of time cutting back overgrown things in my gardens and flowerbeds and harvesting seeds and vegetables. It’s that time of year. With one eye on the temperature at night and another on the list of things I need to do before the first hard freeze, I’m caught somewhere in the middle and always feel like my list is much longer than my time.
Well let’s grab that cup of fresh coffee and take a few minutes of time to chat, shall we?
With all the things I’m harvesting these days my thoughts have been turning towards keeping as much of the things as I can to enjoy during the winter. Things like my wonderful herbs!
This post shares a bunch of ways to preserve your fresh herbs so that you can enjoy them during the cold months when you likely can’t have fresh herbs unless you have a greenhouse.
Are you always wondering whether you should prune back your flowers in the fall or in the spring and which ones to prune back? This post shares a lot of valuable information about getting your flowerbeds ready for winter so you can expect the best results the following spring. I’m going to be studying all the tips and working on getting my flowerbeds in better shape this year.
Craving comfort foods when the evenings are getting longer and the weather is getting cooler?
I haven’t been able to go to my usual recipes this year since I am avoiding carbs at present and I’m usually a carb-o-holic! I’ve been looking for some new recipes that will give me the same cozy comfort but minus those pesky carbs!
For anyone that loves their Italian food as much as I do with Lasagna being near the top of that list, this recipe peaked my interest. Especially since I have some extra spaghetti squash from my garden right now.
I can’t wait to try it!
