  • February in photos – 5.

    Here in the Hippie Hut, I’m taking *all* the meds for this blaze of an autoimmune flare with a side of reflux. . . whatever this is? (The brutal GERD part is a new one on me.) That said, I’m blessed to be hanging out with my people, puppies, and plants – and y’all will… Read more

  • tomato cages and cozy overalls.

    Because I’m an old southern woman, and we’re supposed to wear funny looking hats and ugly clothes and grow vegetables in the dirt. Don’t ask me those questions; I don’t know why. I don’t make the rules. – Ouiser Boudreaux Like many other Southern women, Steel Magnolias has long spoken my love language and I… Read more
