Strawberries are here! There is nothing like the first strawberry, picked and eaten right in the strawberry patch. That, to me, is the real announcement of summer nearing. The first taste of summer. Picked a large basket full this afternoon. Plan to make jam for presents. . . . → Read More: Strawberries! Having family in Colorado, we travel I-70 often. Let me tell you, that is one long stretch of Kansas geography! We have our little landmarks along the way–the top hat guy, the wind farms, and the roadrunner. (If you have ever made this trip, you know what I mean.) We located a Shimpo pottery wheel . . . → Read More: Traveling Along I-70 I really struggled with ordering chard seeds.

As presents go, this one has to be tops. I cannot relay to you the craftsmanship that went into building this greenhouse.
