I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storywriter, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer.

Yes, a little progress is so encouraging and strengthening! And we don’t even discuss the cost of our delicious veggies and berries…

It feels so good to have that hurdle completed. It’s kind of given me a new lease on the whole garden thing. (Of course now the other three sides look like crap.) I got wood to repair the gate and replace one of the remaining boxes. Very expensive vegetables and flowers to come! But, of course, it’s not about the cost.
