Let’s be real here. It’s October 16 in Minnesota and while winter is “technically” a couple of months away, I think we all know November is creeping ever closer and it’s about time to put the gardens to bed. What’s amazing about this fall, however, is how my perennials and shrubs – and heck, even […] Read more…
It’s been a glorious fall weekend in Minnesota! Bright blue skies, light winds, temps around 70 … and thankfully no rain as we are still super soggy around here. I am pretty sure it couldn’t be more delightful. Ironically, we’re all inside this afternoon watching TV because, well, the Ryder Cup is on and we’re […] Read more…
Hello 48! In case you haven’t noticed by now, I’m not afraid to tell you my age. (Read last year’s birthday post here.) I mean, I am what I am, right? And while it’s seems a teeny bit surreal that I am getting ever closer to a new decade, I can honestly say my 40s […] Read more…

We just got back from spending yesterday at the lake – aah, Minnesota lake life – with some […] Read more…
Here we are on the last Sunday in August. How did THAT happen? Teacher Man goes back to school tomorrow (it’s workshop week) and Joe has just one week of vacation left. While I know I will eventually be happy to get back on a regular schedule, I don’t think I’m quite ready for this yet. Not that […] Read more…
Another August weekend is in the books! We spent ours around home doing some yard work, enjoying an evening with good friends, and doing something Joe absolutely hates with a passion – shopping. School shopping, more specifically. I should’ve snapped a picture of his crabby expression in the Nike store – our first stop of […] Read more…
