Mid-Life Crisis Coop
Isn’t this chicken coop amazing? It’s a little over the top for me (meaning I would love to have it but not going to put in the time and cost to build it) but I loved the story behind the little coop as much as I loved the actual chicken coop. Even if you don’t […]

Cheap toys for Pet Birds
I have had parakeets for many years and I love to buy them new toys. Most of the time, they tear them up fairly quickly so I hate to spend a lot of money. I decided there had to be a solution after spending $7 for a small fringed toy similar to the one […]
Mama Hen
I went to lock up the chickens for the night and saw that Mama hen finally got all of her babies on the roost with her. She’s such a good mama.

This weeks Walmart Price Matches
I love this time of the year. Not because of the cooler weather or because I can wear those big sweaters that hide the weight I gained since last year but because it’s the time of the year that baking products go on sale. Albertsons has had some great deals lately and I was excited to […]
New Baby Chicks
I usually don’t hatch baby chicks in the fall but the coyotes have left me with only 15 chickens and I had a hen that wouldn’t get off her nest so I decided to let her hatch a few eggs. I now have six adorable babies. Related
Naples, Italy ( seeing Naples through my great grandfathers eyes)
I can’t believe I didn’t take many videos on my European vacation. I was so busy walking and shooting there wasn’t much time to stop and video anything but I didn’t manage to shoot this video when we arrived in Naples, Italy. I was excited about the last stop of our cruise. Naples’ busy shipping […]
Sorrento, Italy
The last stop on our trip to the Amalfi Coast was Sorrento, Italy. Our driver let us out in the middle of town and our small group had a nice lunch at a quaint little restaurant. The best spot to start your shopping experience in Sorrento is right in the heart of town in Piazza Tasso. This large piazza is one […]
Saying Goodbye to My Friend
As you can see by the photos, this was my buddy. He met me everyday when I came home from work. I would pull into the driveway and he would be there waiting for me to pick him up. Now when I pull into the driveway, there is no one there to greet me. My […]

My “Under the Tuscan Sun” Moment
Under the Tuscan Sun I have seen this movie more times than I care to admit. It is one of my favorite movies and I live vicariously through Diane Lane every time I watch the movie. Maybe it’s because I can relate with her movie character. A woman who divorces her cheating husband, travels to […]
Strawberry ~ Banana Jam
Here is my strawberry/banana jam. It’s probably been 20 years since I last made this combo and after tasting it I’m wondering what took so long. It is soooo delicious. I just finished this batch and I am sitting here with a piece toast slathered in the still warm jam as I type this. My […]
Strawberry Jam

As you can tell by all of the canning recipes this summer, I have been canning A LOT ! That’s ok because […]
