Two weekends ago, Mom picked courgettes (aka zucchinis) and gave me quite a bunch. The baby ones were juicy and delicious grilled. The larger ones I boiled and bagged and froze for occasions when I want to have them with a meal. Mom did this when I was young and she still does it now.... Continue Reading →
I purchased a garden plot earlier in the year in a community garden near my parent's home to grow some of my favorite vegetables. Now, I'm no gardener so Mom is taking care of it for me. She loves gardening and asked me to buy a plot so she could tend to it. She's been... Continue Reading →
Took the Olympus to the front yard. The setting was on Shutter Priority Mode. Minor editing were done in Lightroom and Photoshop. Columbine. Pine cone from the giant pine tree in the yard. The tree is starting to brown at the top. I hope it's not a sign that it's dying. This is a ground... Continue Reading →
These photos were taken in RAW and converted to JPEG. Nothing else was done to them. I should also mention that the setting was on auto.
I purchased this camera on Amazon for $280. The original price was $600.

The washi sample was made using a Project Life divider tab. The stickers were cut with the Silhouette Portrait. The mini envelopes... Continue Reading →
My mother gave me a handful of scallions from her garden and I decided to make scallion pepper sauce with it. These were so pretty I just wanted to look at them all day, however, I didn't want them to go bad so I had to do something quick with them. I also couldn't think... Continue Reading →
Happy first day of spring! This morning, youngest daughter and I took husband to the airport. He is one of the ones who has to work during this crazy time. It's hard to relax knowing he's out there and could possibly get sick even though he is taking precautions. Someone posted on Facebook this game:... Continue Reading →
Eating up what's in the pantry so I could make room for other dry and canned products. I've had these pho noodles for about six months and because herbs don't last very long, I figured I could use up the herbs this way. This pho is really easy to make. I pretty much boil any... Continue Reading →
This pretty little thing came in the mail yesterday. It's a Chic Sparrow B6 Slim Folio in the color Huckleberry. It is from the Crème line, which is a thick leather. The Huckleberry B6 Slim Folio is different from what I expected. I thought it was going to be thick but it's been pressed very... Continue Reading →
