Don’t you just love a great flea market? We first started shopping at Canton Trade Days in Texas around 2008.

The dealer sold […]

Herbs & Photography

7

  Two of my favorite things in the world are fresh herbs and taking photos 🙂 But you probably knew that already…with all the herb photos I share this time of year.   I’ve learned a lot about growing herbs by reading and researching which ones grow best here in north Louisiana…but I’ve learned the […]
