Even though I enjoy gardening immensely I have never owned a vineyard like the one in the photo. I have however enjoyed spending time in other peoples vineyards, like this one in Napa Valley (CA). When my daughter was a few months old we leased a house here over the winter. It was magical to…

I am grateful for all the gardens that are a part of my gardening journey. This is an experimental garden I had in California back in 2018, where half of the garden was planted in-ground and half of the garden was a container garden. My daughter had begged me for years to have her own…

Welcome to the Weekend coffee share! Can I get you a cup of coffee? Or perhaps a cup of tea? How are you? What is the weather like in your neck of the woods? Today is officially the last day of my winter vacation, of course there’s still the weekend as well. It has been…

Today I am reflecting over how grateful I am to live in a place with four distinct seasons. I could not tell you which one my favourite is. If you ask me in the winter it would be winter, since I love the crisp winter air and snow. If you ask me in the spring…

I live in an area where it is normal to get a lot of snow in the winter. Today I am grateful for the well maintained bike lanes. The bike lanes are like a beautiful spider web reaching all over town and surrounding villages. Most of them are maintained year round. This morning they plowed…
