Form verses Function: Landscaping around the Main House
Focusing on the business was all about function… this landscape project is all about form!
Garlic Tasting Party
I’ve hosted many a wine tasting over the years but this week I hosted my first Garlic Tasting party!
Reflections on Growing Flowers
These are just some reflections I’ve had thus far, as summer moves onto fall I’m sure I will have more discoveries and learn many more things!

Finding Joy
Being sad for so long, truly sucks the life out of your soul and that certainly is not helpful to Andy, and it is not healthy for me. It is time I turn the corner and find my way back to me.

If I’ve learned anything with this experience, realities are anything but concrete and things can change on a dime with no warning. To survive, adaptation is of the utmost importance.
It Takes a Village
Andy and I are so luck to live in Palisade and to be a part of this incredible village we call home!
