I enjoy quiet unhurried Sunday mornings. I stepped out onto our back patio (not fancy and that grass in the crevice of the concrete needs removed) and several magpies flew away from our flower pots.

Grab Your Red Solo Cups and Get Started!
About 3 years ago, my husband and I built this raised bed garden box together. We bought all the right wood, got out the saw, and measured the area where the box would fit. Then my DH drew out a plan and we went to work cutting, gluing and nailing. I love the smell of Continue reading
