I picked the last of the herbs from our garden and I wanted to preserve them. I usually dehydrate them in my large Excalibur Dehydrator. I have already dehydrated one huge batch in it and have enough to last until next year. I couldn’t waste the remaining herbs so I thought I would dehydrate them in my Ninja Foodi to […]
How fascinating is this! I was putting away my outside Halloween decorations at my cabana and when I took the pumpkins off of the straw bales, I found this little pumpkin on there to. It looks like it already had a face on top, do you see it? This spider is called a Marbled Orb Weaver and you can see […]
Our Cabana finally arrived yesterday after waiting for two months from having it custom made. There is attached seating all along three sides and is a whopping 12′ x 20′ big!

Wow my perennial herb garden had to be cut already. Unfortunately my lemon thyme bolted (flowered). They say when herbs bolt they don’t taste very good, however, they also say the tiny flowers on the lemon thyme are ok to eat. I’m not crazy about dehydrating the flowers so I cut it back and it will grow more soon. Since […]
