Just a quick post to show the potato rack I built this fall. This year was our first year of growing potatoes to see how they would do here so we only planted a small amount. The good news is that they did really well and we have been using them up at a pretty …
I came across a pretty good video a while back and have watched it a couple times since. I wanted to pass along in case you haven’t seen it as it is the kind of video that really gets me dreaming. National Geographic got four men together to recreate the trip many made through Canada …
I hate to wish time to go by and often remind myself of that when having a bad day. This past week though has had a few bumps in it and I am glad to be on the other side of it. I am thoroughly grateful that the election is over. That is not to …
