Pickle day today!
I was nervous because I’ve never pickled anything before, but honestly, this was super easy. These are basic refrigerator pickles…no formal canning or processing methods required. Boil vinegar, water, sugar and salt, and pour it over your choice of veggies, herbs, spices, etc. All of these pickles had loads of garlic in them, some had horseradish, and I mixed...
Haha, in my bold attempt at getting healthy, I’ve decided to start running.
You can stop laughing now.
I’m coming in on the three month mark since I quit smoking, and I figure my lungs should be at the point where I’m capable to using them a little more than the slight movement required to sustain life on the couch/at the computer.
SO. Running. Yes.
Folks, let’s...
First harvest of the season, still wet with morning dew.
Soon to be dill, garlic, and sweet-hot refrigerator pickles!!! I don’t have the balls for real deal canning yet. I’m petrified of giving ya’ll botulism or something. Give me a shout if you live locally and would like some.
Words cannot express how much I loved this movie.

Spent a little time with my sister and Zoey today.
She’s so precious.
Everyone is getting to know her.
I love how downy soft the skin of a new baby feels, and that smell…oh, that smell.
And just in case you’re wondering…
nope, still don’t want one.
Little Zoey, my newest niece, was born last night! 7lbs 6oz, 20 1/2 inches long. Both mama and baby are resting nicely. Photos to come today when I get over there (carly took this shot with her cell).
