    The Well Tower and Fall planting

    ByMary Crozier September 28, 2017September 14, 2021

    The well tower is a unique fixture on our property. Originally designed to pump and house the equipment for the well, it was in a deteriorated state when we purchased our property back in 1999. But over time we did restore it and it serves multiple purposes now in 2021. It becomes a topic of…

    It’s Been A Year!

    ByMary Crozier September 14, 2017September 14, 2017

    A year ago today, I sent my first blog post of Life at Bella Terra.  It was an intimidating moment, because I thought “who would ever want to read this?”  I don’t consider myself a very good writer and I’m really trying to improve upon that.  But your words of encouragement have brought me back…

    Cold Brew Coffee

    ByMary Crozier August 29, 2017August 29, 2017

    Don’t you just LOVE a bargain??

    ByMary Crozier March 27, 2017July 27, 2017

    I love a bargain, especially an unexpected one!  During a simple grocery shopping trip to Safeway a few months back, I stumbled upon a 75% off display of floral items.  Not that I need any more vases, but I was so drawn to the cool, serene blue color of these glass ones designed by Debi…
