Thinking

I am sitting At the car dealership waiting for my car to be finished only to notice the gorgeous morning this started out to be is now threatened with storm clouds rolling through.

In Houston it feels like spring with 70 degree temps. The beautiful new jacket I got for the winter temps has been worn twice this season. Therefore while sitting with nothing to do but think and blog, I am excitedly beginning my plans for our spring garden!!!

Last year we planted a variety of different pepper plants. Our focus was not on a variety of vegetables but on a variety of types. I enjoyed tasting the different types of peppers- I have a huge thing for spice and heat! Yet this year I am focusing on a variety of fruits and veggies. My goal is to plant what my family can consume and plant a variety.

This will be different from years past where I planted so much I couldn't give it away. This will be different from years past when we tired from eating the same old same old each day. This year- we go for newness each day. We go for cultivating what we can eat. No more waste.

As I sit with nothing to do but think my list of plants has begun! Come on spring!!!

Wish List

Have you started your wish list for the holiday season? Gardening items are always a personal and useful gift. Get a head start at www.MotherEarthGardening.com. Fall is here so start shopping early!!

Fall has come to Houston

It is chilly- well, to be honest it is cooler.  I don't quite think of low 80's as chilly.  My daughter on the other hand brought out her jacket, zipped and hood on!  And, my youngest daughter's teachers told me I need to pack a jacket- because her long sleeves and blue jeans were not keeping her warm enough!

Without a doubt cooler weather reminds us that we are in a new growing season.  So, as the weather cools and the holidays approach, take the time to enjoy this moment- the moment right before the holiday rush!

Happy Fall!

Website Drama

In discovering our passion for the great outdoors, my husband and I decided to start a twofold business: website with gardening products and a landscaping architecture firm.  What has been the biggest hurdle has been the "web language" that we (aka I) have had to learn.  And, even after two years of this, I am still discovering that I have tons more to learn!  Hopefully, I will become as passionate about the web as I am about the beauty of my yard.  Right now, the yard seems much easier to handle. 

It is time to travel back into the "matrix" of my computer, now.
