    The Many Indicators of Spring

    ByMary Crozier March 21, 2023March 21, 2023

    In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours. Mark Twain As I watch the effects of snow storms, nor’easters and relentless rainfall in other parts of the country, I am grateful to live in an area with a more mild winter.  Born and raised in Connecticut, I have fond…

    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…

    How to Make a Dried Flower Wreath

    ByMary Crozier February 28, 2023February 28, 2023

    We’ve all heard the saying “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure”. In last week’s Saturday Meanderings post, I mentioned that I have dried roses from a DIY project a year ago. On Saturday, my sweet neighbor, Tevia, gave me an old flower arrangement that she was discarding. Since I do save dried flowers and…
