About Me: |
About me? Hmmm? Colorado native of several generations, most of them farmers or miners. So working with the land is in my blood.
I have had several gardens over the years but it has been awhile since I could so I am really putting my self in to this one. Or maybe I should say the whole yard buy the time I am done which will be never.
I make jams and jellies every year and try to freeze as much of the summers bounty as I can.

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness. ~ Henry David Thoreau ~
