Happy Monday everyone! I missed last weeks Harvest Monday because I was in Milwaukee visiting my very best friend in the world! We were watching Sandy hammer the east coast, eating good (comfort) food, painting and enjoying the wonder that 20+ years of friendship brings 🙂 But I digress…I must…
Happy Monday everyone! Tool Lady taming the jungle. I escaped Homework Land just long enough to snap a couple of pictures 🙂 How do you know that your wife loves you? When she chooses to spend the majority of her Saturday cleaning up the garden and bringing in what’s left to…
