Garden Tools from the Library
Small garden in our new condo. Able to grow my herbs in pots (so necessary for cooking my vegetables). However, I had to clear away the overhanging bushes to let the sun and rain do their work. Enter, the Safety Harbor Tool Library. https://safetyharbortoollibrary.myturn.com/ It is the coolest perk for condo livers with no garage […]
Casseroles Best Friend—The Shunned Onion

RV in Tucson
Sprouts Market is right across the street from our RV park. Luv that store’s produce. The sign said “Sumo Mandarin”. I had to smile—they were big and even though on sale, the price for the mandarin orange pictured was $1.56 for 1. Yes, it was sweet; a tad less sweet than Cutie clementines; but we […]
