Early Morning Start
Up before dawn, I got the coffee brewing — every good morning starts with a strong cup of java. The quads were unloaded and ready for the day’s run. A quick breakfast of classic Frosted Flakes and an apple turnover hit the spot before we geared up. The morning was absolutely beautiful — crisp and…
Halloween

My roses have roots!
I do it again…
I’m thrilled that everything worked out again this year! It’s a bit early, but with the weather being so perfect, I couldn’t resist uncovering my babies. I’m beyond excited they’ve returned! I’m only uncovering some of my babies for now – my red ones in the backyard are still off-limits. It’s just a bit too…
