TGH and I have done some research and we believe the yucca we have in our yard (that I posted about here) is the filamentosa type. It is also known as Adam’s Needle. This type is known for the distinctive way the leaves turn dry at the edges and curl up into thread-like […]

This plant has been in my yard and has done nothing but just sit there looking green for the last six years. I didn’t even know what kind of plant it was. My sister-in-law #2 (SIL#2) told me that it was a yucca plant. Well, I suddenly got curious about it […]

TGH built some raised beds for me to plant some vegetables. It was a lot of hard work - he is too good to me. I thought it came out looking pretty good. I decided to have him make triangular beds because I can reach those from all sides (my fellow short […]

We had a little get together over the weekend and I made this cake using the Cocoa Mocha Frosting recipe here. It was really good. I had to increase the recipe because I had a three layer cake (notice how it resembles the Leaning Tower of Pisa). I also used mocha syrup […]

My sister came to spend the afternoon with me and I made her little tuna fish sandwiches shaped like fish. The cutter for the fish shape was originally supposed to be used for making treats for your cat. Shhh - don’t tell my sister.

So your eyes won’t melt in your heads, I’ve decided to put up some pretty pictures and relieve you of the horror that was TGH’s childhood artwork. These huge, bearded beauties are growing in my yard and will probably need to be split this year. If anyone has any advice on […]

I noticed my blog is getting a little bogged down with food so here is a little break. It’s a funky tree and whenever we drive by it, I like to make TGH (Techno-Geek Hubby) slow down so I can get a good look at it. You can see in the photo that […]
