    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier April 7, 2023April 8, 2023

    Happy Easter weekend! I love this time of year and have such happy memories of this holiday. Dad would buy us corsages to pin on our new spring coats. Dressing up for church in hats and gloves and Mom’s homemade lamb cake after dinner. Signs of spring would be popping up in Connecticut and winter…

    The guest cottage renovation is complete. This is not a comprehensive renovation, but enough to make it feel fresh and functional. My daughter and her two dogs and one cat made this their home for 3 years. Normal wear and tear plus pets…well you get the picture. Here is the guest house remodel reveal and…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier March 17, 2023March 18, 2023

    As I write this, the skies are heavy and gray with a gentle rain falling. We cherish the rain here in the southwest. However, it’s hard to get motivated to do anything since I’d prefer to just curl up with a good book and a cup of tea. Happy Saturday to you and I love…

    Twas the Week AFTER Christmas

    ByMary Crozier December 26, 2022December 26, 2022

    As I write this, today is Christmas Day Observed on the calendar (Monday, Dec. 26) and I can tell you I am taking this day to relax and do nothing. The refrigerator is filled with leftovers and we continue to enjoy our children collectively as our son is in town until Thursday. Here at Bella…
