Hello book loverrrrrrr!! I rocked out my reading in the last month of 2024. I was determined to reach my Bookreads 2024 reading goal (which was 50 books). I capped off the year at 58 books! Go me!I cranked through 10 books in December. A few were new to me authors that were on my TBR Goodreads list.

GARDENING TIPS // FROST-RESISTANT VEGETABLES
We've had a super mild winter so far in my neck of the woods (North Texas...Zone 8b), but we've got some winter fun (aka super low temps) heading our way. This will be the first time this growing season (I'm in Cold Season growing right now) that I'm a bit concerned for everything I have in the garden right now... ...which includes radishes, carrots, beans ...

I rolled through 3 assistants in 1 year and start a new one in less ...
MAPPING OUT OUR 11 ACRES // PLANNING MY GARDEN & OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING SPACES
One of the things I wanted in our land was the ability to have a large garden. Dreams of growing my own food has been a part of me for so long. Really - since my last house when I had a garden.

WALK WITH ME // OUR LANDING STRIP IS ALMOST FINISHED
In this video, I'm sharing our landing strip progress. We are so so close to it being ready. Just waiting on the electric people to come out and bury an overhead line that is running overhead (safety issue!). But the landing strip looks so good! Take a watch!https://youtu.be/ncWdrTedQdw ...
