I hadn’t planned to post anything today. It’s been a really busy day. I led a tour at Mounts Botanical Garden, where I volunteer. I hadn’t been in the garden for almost a month, so I walked through before the tour, to look for blooming plants that I could highlight…

When I wrote my Sunshine Blogger Award post a few days ago, I mentioned that I had been nominated by not one, but two of my favorite bloggers, and each gave me a set of questions. I answered the set from Darryl, who writes My little corner of the world,…

When I think back on it, I realize that when we moved to Homestead, Florida, south of Miami, in 1976, we actually moved to seafood heaven. We were only a 30 minute drive from the Florida Keys, and we took up fishing not long after we settled in our new…

I can’t remember now why I bought a container of gochujang. I assume that I saw a recipe that called for it that I wanted to try. I didn’t know anything about it, other than that it’s Korean and it’s spicy. Once I had it, though, I put the container…

The sea grape has recovered from the frost damage it sustained and is starting to bloom. This is just many racemes, a type of flower cluster, on the tree. I first referred to it as a panicle, but I was corrected by my resident botanist. Either way, there should be…

It’s that time again. Pretty much every year since I’ve been retired, we have spent a couple nights with Ben and Annie, and Emmalyn, too, so that Ken and Ben can go to the state science fair, where they both are longtime judges. We have a long history with science…
