I harvested lemons, carrots, and a pomegranate from the garden. We continued our work in the garden, removing the bad dirt, taking it to the dump, and sifting the roots and rocks from the good dirt that I am keeping from our old planter areas. The piles are getting smaller, but I am also aware…
I picked Meyer lemons and pomegranates from the garden. I cut two kinds of basil from the garden as well. I made pesto and dried the basil to use later. I enjoyed herbal tea from peppermint and lemon verbena that was grown in my garden. I cut and dried lemon verbena from the garden and…
I’m thankful for all of the clients that have entrusted me to photograph them this year. It’s been a delight to capture the love they have for one another. (You can see more of my work on Instagram here and book a session on my website here.) I’m also very thankful for all of you!…
I hope my American readers had an enjoyable Thanksgiving! Our Thanksgiving celebration was very simple at home with our immediate family. I was tempted to go to the store to buy some more food for our Thanksgiving, but each time I was tempted, I stayed home and did not spend the money. I mended a…
I’m thankful for kind neighbors. What are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for the friends I made many years ago in Lyon, France. I am in touch with almost all of them on a regular basis and they continue to bless my life. What are you thankful for today?
I harvested butternut squash, pumpkins, pomegranates, and Swiss chard from the garden. I sowed seeds in the garden for lettuce. My husband borrowed his brother’s dump trailer to speed up our time at the dump. We are able to load up the bad dirt we are taking out on his trailer to take to the…
