    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier January 12, 2024January 14, 2024

    Can it possibly be mid-January already? I hope this year isn’t another one on fast-forward. All my efforts to slow time do not seem to be working. Happy Saturday to you and I hope this blog post finds you comfy and cozy. It is very cold here in Phoenix as we are not used to…

    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…

    Making Lavender Pillows

    ByMary Crozier August 22, 2020April 7, 2021

    The world needs more lavender to promote calmness and wellness, don’t you think? I love sachets, but the larger lavender pillows are getting my attention lately. However, is it me or do they seem expensive? $49.95 for a 7″ square lavender pillow? So what better way to get a lavender pillow than make them yourself….
