How We Beat the Grasshoppers… so far
Note: This week only you can get 200 gluten and grain-free recipes in five eBooks for only $7.40. I’ve never been a big animal person because I’m really jumpy and animals are really unpredictable.

Spring Start (and Stop?)
On an absolutely spring-like day last week, we decided to go for it. Or rather, I decided to go for it. You see, every late winter we play a little game here in Texas called Is It Spring Yet? This game has been one we have won a couple of years and lost a couple…

Our garden is doing well this year – but my tomatoes are all still green. The colder than normal winter delayed everything this year. Okra – one of my favorite things to grow. Hope you have good success with it. We grow Clemson spineless okra. Enjoyed your pictures as always.
