~Yup, Another Fire~

We got the call at about 11 p.m. “Kathy, get ready”. We got out of bed and ran to the garage to check it out. Right there, right now… get out. Luckily we had the generator on and I got the call. Otherwise, I may not be here writing. SCE had turned the canyon utilities […]

~Get Me Outta Here!~

I can’t watch another Netflix show! The rains have been driving me crazy on top of this sheltering in time.  Being outside in the garden has been my saving grace, and raining for a couple of weeks here has done me no good.  I can’t eat all that I bake either although you would think […]

~Garden Visitors~

The fires sure have given us more visits to the gardens. These guys were here last year and it was good to see them again. This one stuck around long enough for me to grab the camera after noticing him through my dirty, ashy window. There were two but this one was right close by…

~A New Year~

It is time to welcome the New Year in and hopefully this year will be a lot brighter than the last. It sure was a hectic mess. The pandemic seems never ending so I am determined to continue to do my part and pull up a seat at home, wear a mask when out, and…

~Tis The Season~

Tis the season to decorate, of course eat and then make merriment. It is a bit different this year in Sheckyville, but we have gotten used to COVID restrictions and all we want now is to stay healthy and get rid of that nasty, deathly virus worldwide. We are doing our part and it is…

~Squash Soup & Biscuits~

It is not hard to make soup out of squash but just in case you have never tried it, this is how easy it is. In fact, any Winter squash you wish to use and any liquid can be substituted here in this recipe. It is one of my *anything goes* recipes that is simple,…
