Those decks look right to me - I hate high decks for the reason mentioned above. I want to be IN my yard, not looking down on it from above. Low Wooden Decks: Yea or Nay? |

I like to gather material together on themes that interest me as larger subjects - photographs of heirloom vegetables and fruits or old photographs of food workers. I follow some people who pin interesting things from historical graphic design and typography. But there's an awful lot of bad recipes (why are there so many recipes that call for candies?) and shopping wishlists. I find it hard to dig through and find the stuff that excites me.

I like the black color of the shutters, but shutters scaled too small to actually close is a pet peeve. Before & After: Bare Backyard Turned Lush Patio |

Another advantage to planting natives is that they actually work with the local ecosystem. You can provide local bugs, birds, butterflies, etc. with the plants they need. Two good books to check out - Michael Pollan's early book about gardening Second Nature and a book called Noah's Garden, both of which talk about the constant tension between gardening and letting go, using natives and making vegetable gardens, etc. I like very much the approach Pollan ultimately took, planting vegetables, herbs and some beloved ornamentals (non-invasive) closest to his house, then transitioning into all native plants until the garden disappeared into the woods.

I had this for my wedding cake, which was of course pie. I served a pie buffet with many kinds of pie at my wedding, and for bride/groom "cake" cutting, we used this, which was served at every Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner when I was growing up. Yes, it's still delicious. Classic Dessert Recipe: French Silk Pie Recipes from The Kitchn |

Why bother with the kid picture? Elderly relatives, mostly. Also, friends who have kids tend to like seeing pictures of the kids - because kids change a lot in a year, and I don't. I like seeing my friends' kids grow. Burning Question for Parents: Do You Put Yourself in Your Holiday Photo Card? |

I hope it feels better than it photographs, because that is really depressing to me. And I like white, black and grey. But, god, just the photos are enough to make me itchy. Ewa's "Northern Exposure" Room Room for Color Contest |

Awful. Not because it's sad, because it's ugly. Really, really ugly. Tasteless. Terrible. Like Thomas Kinkaide forgot his Zoloft. The only thing that could make this wore would be printing it on an acrylic throw. Seriously, terrible. Keane Kids For Kids? |
