Let’s Welcome December
This is what it looked like at my house yesterday morning. AND it’s cold, going to be sub-zero tonight! Thankfully my husband cleaned the construction mess out of the garage and I could park in there so my car doors didn’t freeze shut. Nothing like a snow and ice storm and sub-zero weather t...

Does this happen to anyone else?
My family decided to plant a garden this summer. The critters did not eat as many of the plants as they usually do so I have ended up with about 20 mutant zucchinis. Seriously, these things look like baby whales. I have pretty much had it with dreaming up stuff to cook with them. Next year w...
