    I believe this falls under Redesign/Upcycle. My daughter made this dress from the leg of my old lounge pants!

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Plant an Herb Garden
    Consider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?

    I decided I’d like herbs year round. In the winter it’s not nice to cross the muddy yard in the rain to get to the garden bed. So I got a container to keep on the back porch, which also gets the most sun in the winter. I planted tarragon and oregano starts, and divided existing chives, sage, and mint. Now I just need to keep them alive!

    I think 15 minutes of the Chicken Dance and the Macarena on Go Noodle with the kids counts as exercise....right?

    I need to find a friend who want to meet up as a lunch time walking buddy and head to the river.
