As you may have heard, I love to read and try to find time for it whenever I can squeeze it in. I read all sorts of books, from crime mysteries to business advice to running techniques. And one of my most recent reads was Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi. He's a man...
There are plenty of great moving companies out there choose from that can help you pack up all your worldly possessions, hit the road, and set up shop in any number of different places across the country. But the one thing that we gardeners often lament having to...
As you may have read, we were recently in Berlin and we stayed in a gorgeous hotel. We spent nearly 3 days in the hotel, so I got to know our room pretty well. And there were some design elements that were so smart, regardless of whether you're in a big house or a...
I almost didn't get this posted today because there is so much going on in our lives right now, but I so love You Capture that I went outside and looked for some "lines" anyway. Thankfully, we have tons of them around our farm...
Somehow, when we've got a lot of pressure and deadlines to meet, we work a lot more efficiently... Several days ago, I started transplanting the first of the many seedlings we started weeks ago -- which had grown into some lovely little starter plants. I have to admit...

Spring. It's by far one of my favorite times of year. This spring we've had a strange spring. It went from really warm and sunny to cold (and even freezing over Easter, with almost all of Germany getting a little dusting of snow). Then it was cold again for a few...
Happy Friday to you! I missed you and your gardens last week. Since we were on our way to Berlin, I figured one week off from gardening could do us all good! Thankfully, my seedlings were forgiving about us being gone for a few days and they are still growing like...
My husband and I have been together for 12 years -- and in that time period, I have to admit that we have rarely gotten rid of things. Instead, we were just constantly adding to our collection. When we moved from Florida to Frankfurt, we got rid of a few things that...
Welcome to another Friday! I hope the sun is shining where you are and that the forecast is looking beautiful. It's actually gorgeous here today although a bit cool, but I don't think it's going to last through the weekend. Hopefully next week some nice weather will...
