    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier July 19, 2024July 20, 2024

    Welcome to Saturday Meanderings where we chat about all good things this week. I was unable to post last Saturday because we were traveling (secretly) to Chicago to surprise our son. Plus last week is one filled with chores and who wants to share that! But this week, we have happy good news to share,…

    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.
