The Table is Set!
ByMary Crozier November 26, 2019November 26, 2019

I didn’t intend for the Thanksgiving centerpiece to match the artwork in the dining room but it happily does! Every few months I’ve been hanging different art, trying to find just the right piece.

My Afternoon Walkabout
ByMary Crozier November 5, 2019November 5, 2019

When the children were small, we would walk the entire property every afternoon. My son and I would have “who can pick the largest kumquat” contests in the orchard. I miss those days 🙁 My daily walkabout is not only a chance to get outside, but a way to free myself from technology, projects and…
