Cute picture and really does remind me of my 2 cats. They are so funny in my plants. :) I have a few plants on our back porch and they like to go out there and just lay in the sun at times. It's all enclosed so I don't mind. I always see them swatting away at a few of the plants out there. I...

I went out today and picked a lot of my green tomatoes!! I saw an article the other day on slicing them, breading and frying them, and using them as a replacement for the meat in your dinner meal. :) I am not a huge meat lover, so I'm always looking for other ways to jazz up my dinner. I'm...

It's funny you mention that... I haven't seen many at all this year. I think maybe one or two. :( I really miss that... they are so peaceful and I just love to see them flutter on by. Gives me a sense of just taking it all in. Relaxing and slowing things down for just a few minutes. I think we...

Awww... I love that picture!!! The cat looks so content and happy in her surroundings. I'm sure she loves when she sees you come out for your walks. Cats are really great!! Danyel :)

I really think that this is heartbreaking. I know over the last 20 years the amount of farms have decreased severely. I have noticed it even in our small town. They are here one year and then you see a land for sale sign the next. I know it does have a lot to do with our government and it's not...

I just love bonsai trees. I have always been interested in them but never went the extra mile to research. I would love to have one but I have heard they are very time consuming and a bit difficult to take care of. If you have the time I would suggest it. What a great hobby and something you...

I have no idea why people plant things so close to the house. I guess they just figure it will never get that big !! :) It's sad to have to remove the tree. If it means trouble for your home and trimming won't fix it then you should. If you keep it in hopes trimming will help and it doesn't you...

This post just totally brought back memories of my childhood. :) In the home we grew up in, along the sides of our very long driveway, we had a split rail fence. We had it for years and it was painted white. I can picture it now and how it looked. I remember walking down that driveway many times...

I have seen this is many restaurants and I absolutely love it ! We live in Florida so there is the ocean theme in many places and they try to bring the water inside if at all possible. I truly love it and think it is just so relaxing to just sit and watch. :) I have even seen it done in a few...

That's awesome !! Thank you for sharing! I am more than ready for the weekend to be here. It's been a very hectic week to say the very least. Can't wait for the kids to get home from school, make a nice dinner and relax!!! Hoping to do that most of the weekend with a few activities in there as...

Exactly as Chuck stated above :) I have done this several times and the fresh ones are much better. Much hotter as well, so be careful when using them in your recipes! Don't rub your eyes and make sure you use gloves if all possible. The first time I did this I didn't, and even though I washed...

We use mulch on our vegetable garden all of the time. Here in Florida where it is sooo hot and the sun is always shining you really have to. It holds in the ground moisture and helps protect the plants. It's a must here! :) Hope this helps!! Danyel :)

Oranges are amazing !!! Thank you for sharing this important information with all of us. We live in Florida, so we always have a lot of oranges here. They are great for boosting your immune system and fighting off colds too. Vitamin C is amazing and something most of us don't get enough of...

The most important thing for me was space. I love a lot of plants but I also like the look of having space in between things so you can fully see their beauty. I think it looks more organized as well. :) I also try to organize plants to accommodate their size which can sometimes be difficult. I...

The weather has been a bit strange here in sunny Florida! It has been sunny and warm but we had a one day cold front this weekend and it went down to 50 !! We all loved it because it was a change from the super hot weather we have here all of the time. I'm not complaining!! I was able to get out...

Great job !!! I can tell by those pictures that a lot of work has gone into that beautiful garden. I love the way you used the space you have to create something amazing!! Great job and keep up the great work. Nothing like standing back and admiring what you helped grow!! :) Danyel :)

They really sound good and something I would love to actually try. I guess it is a great way to use tomatoes that haven't ripened.... Sad though. The weather is so unpredictable!! I think I may start looking around for some ideas and recipes to use those tomatoes!! I have a feeling by the way it...

I want to grow one as well but didn't really know where to start. Thank you for all of this great information too. I will insert a link to some really great instructions. I found this helpful :) Danyel :)...

We live in Florida and right next to Plant City which is mostly where all of the strawberries come from. We are blessed to say the least!! I use them in your typical recipes but if I have an over abundance I will usually cut off the stems and freeze them. I love them in smoothies and with them...

Hmmm... there's not many other than salad but we do eat a lot of lettuce wraps. I'm not sure if you have ever had them. Many restaurants sell them as appetizers. It's basically using the lettuce as the "bread". Hard to give you a good visual picture but you can really use it to wrap just about...
