Morning Star Mill
We haven’t been to Morning Star Mill for months, so yesterday morning for our hike that’s exactly where we went. This is usually a pretty regular hike for us. There are some interesting trails that head out from here and if the mill is open we have a wander through and chat with the friendly…

Tiny Tomatoes
Two years ago we added a raised bed garden to our backyard. In our tiny 4 x 8 piece of heaven we planted every kind of garden plant you can think of. We had carrots, beets, peppers, lettuce, spinach, beans, zucchini and a couple of varieties of tomatoes. And it wasn’t long before we had…
