About me:
My name is Rhonda. I am blessed to live in a beautiful place out in the country with my wonderful husband. In addition to our "real" jobs (I work at a garden center and he is a teacher), we have a small farm where we raise vegetables, eggs and chickens to sell at local Farmer's Markets. We are currently fixing up/remodeling a house into which we will soon be moving...hopefully. In my free time, (what is that?) I enjoy traveling, cooking, crafty projects, reading and watching the sun set on the hills.

Plum Crazy
This plum tree in our backyard is a survivor. This tree is tough. We live in the desert and get about 13.44 inches of rain a year. And this tree gets no extra water, yet it produced a bucketful of … Continue reading

I’m back!
I can’t believe that it has been over two years since I’ve posted here. I blame it mostly on Jason! A lot has happened in the last couple of years. I quit my job, took a drive around the country … Continue reading
