This week has been both eventful and uneventful at the same time. I am pretty much taking it easy, just as easy as one can when they have a family. I have done no baking, but I am ready to get back in the kitchen very soon. We have attended a couple of appointments and …
With Saturdays I find the day is one extreme or the other, real crazy or quiet yet nothing ever in the middle. There is usually something going on in our house. There will be one kid going here, and another will want a lift there. Then there’s jobs that I need help with that other …

I don't know if anyone knows what a cold frame is but I wanted one for a long time. Maybe you call it by a different name but basically a cold frame is somewhere to propagate seeds outside under glass. Usually it sits on the ground and is a few inches tall buy a couple …
