Sunday Letter

Rise and Shine Sunday Letter friends!

I’ve already been outside this morning in the rain killing milkweed bugs. A gardener does what a gardener has to do.

I swear the summer days keep swooshing by and before I know it another week has come and gone and I have nothing written for my Sunday Letter. So I scramble a few thoughts together, all the while wondering if this might be my last letter for awhile. And then I do the same thing the next week. And I suppose I will continue this word scramble until I don’t.

Thanks for being here.Continue Reading

Dear Sunday Letter friends,

Hallelujah! I think a gorgeous fall may be unfolding here in the Ozarks. It seems a safe prediction based on the leaves in the picture above. I took this picture three days ago in our neighborhood. I don’t know why the sight of turning leaves thrills me, but it does.

The first thing I do to welcome a new season is to switch out my front door wreath. I did that this week, but I’ve not bought any pumpkins yet. Some of my neighbors started really early this year, stacking pumpkins on their porches two or three weeks ago. Anything to move on through 2020? I think that must be the consensus.

Bottom line=> Fall is here and these cooler days feel like blessed salvation to me.Continue Reading

Food. Farm. Garden. Life.
