Well, it hasn't been easy but my transition from Blogger to Wordpress is finally complete. I'm sure I'll find another thousand gadgets and gizmos in the meantime to add here and there, but I finally have all the posts organized and filed which was not exactly an easy...
Lantern Fest 2008
Another Lantern Fest has come and gone, sadly, but we're once again taking some great memories with us. We absolutely love that the whole town comes together for this event and parties for 4 days straight until they are just done for. Some of our neighbors living in...
We’ve got worms!
No, no problems or complaints in this post. We're not upset that we have worms but rather pleased instead. We recently started our very own worm farm after finding ourselves plagued with an endless supply of fruit flies in our kitchen who just loved munching down on...
An update on what’s growing
On Saturday morning, I passed by the thyme plant growing in my herb container garden and saw this! ICK!!!! I don't know where they came from or how they got to be over an inch so quickly but these little suckers were munching down on my thyme plant. I quickly picked...

A few water saving tips we recently implemented
Well, everyone is in full savings mode with the price of gas going through the roof and we're not much exception. We have cut back our spending in many areas and are using meal planning as one way to help us cut costs, but we're doing other things as well. Not only do...
Another hour in the garden…
Just spent another bit of time pulling weeds, trimming trees and just trying to get a grip on things in the garden. Overwhelming is certainly one way of describing it! I took some more photos but I barely notice the progress myself...well, actually, I can see the...
A bit of progress in the garden
