Hooray for Progress!
Thank you so much for supporting my work by buying my book! I am enjoying this feeling of accomplishment, and your encouraging words fill me with joy. I am also grateful for the support of other bloggers. Here are links to reviews of my book on Tiny House Blog and Tiny House Talk as well as some link love from Rowdy Kittens. Thanks, guys! Ella was sitting in the garden planting seeds when she said, “Mommy, remember when we didn’t have a fence around the garden?” I smiled at her sitting there in the purple hat she found at a Roanoke yard sale. She is so good at keeping me present and helping me appreciate my life. “Yeah, I remember that. The...
Read MoreHow We Created a Delightful Christmas in Our Tiny House
The wind has blown in the cold, and even though the calendar says it’s fall, it feels like winter. The jack-o-lantern sits frozen on the deck, and the heat is cranked. Donna the Kitty is cleaning her fur next to me while Sunna, our giant dog, runs up and down the hillside protecting the chickens from bunnies, squirrels and neighbor dogs. I’m thankful sitting inside our warm and cozy home listening to the wind howl. I thought I’d do a quick post to tell you that I am now a regular contributor to TinyHouseTalk.com! I am thankful to Alex Pino for giving me to opportunity to share with his community. For the next few weeks, I will share some ways that we...

Read MoreA Tribute to Lovely
Tammy Strobel of Rowdy Kittens is enrolling now for her fall Writing in the Digital Age e-course starting October 1st. I participated in the course this summer, and I highly recommend it! Tammy’s dedication to her writing practice inspires me, and I can’t help but notice her sweet love affair with the word lovely. I’ve noticed that word in my own writing and have tried to replace it. It’s a hard-to-replace-kind-of word. Here’s an exercise from my journal during the writing course, a tribute to the word lovely: * * * Life is lovely in summertime with its sunflowers creating an arch over the pathway. With an abundant garden covered in flowering weeds....
Read MoreGarden Summer Garden
I planted my garden from the far side toward the house without a plan. I figured the point was to get the seeds in the ground, so they’d grow. When Karl bakes bread without measuring anything, he calls himself a free-baker. I guess I’m a free-gardener. Now, it’s time to harvest the garlic, new potatoes and some of the onions. It looks tired on the far side of the garden, but in the earth is a bounty I’ve never harvested from my own garden. Last weekend, I dug up about five pounds of new potatoes to take to my grandma’s 84th birthday party, where I cooked the family meal for the first time. Today, I will dig up enough new potatoes to bake scalloped potatoes for...
