Or, you can follow my easy, [...] I Hate To Say “I Told You So,” So I’ll say “I told him so.” (Yes, I mean Dave.) Two summers ago, when we did some new plantings around the house (after 13 years of living here), Dave was set on Blue Fescue in a large area back by the pool. Having dabbled in [...] Well, not cream. Half and half. Dave went to Costco again the other day. He brought home these. For those of you following along, I am not allowed to complain if he is doing the shopping. However, please note that if Dave were to take notice of his surroundings, he might have seen [...] With the Help of Heavy-Duty Concrete Reinforcing Wire.

Do your teachers want more asparagus?” “No, I don’t think so.” “Morgan?” “NO MOM!” I rack my brain… Who has told me they would do anything for [...] Grandpa Hank is my father in-law and this is his old-time salad dressing for fresh-from-the-garden lettuce — which I just harvested yesterday. I suppose I could write this as a Meatless Monday recipe, but I didn’t because it really isn’t enough for a meal. But it IS the only way my kids would ever eat [...] I need a garden fix.
