Growing Peppers in November

In Canada Even!  Amazing?  Incredulous? 

No, not really….but I had to make it sound exciting didn’t I?

2 months ago I brought 2 pepper plants inside so the remaining peppers that were on them could finish growing.  A Poblano Pepper plant and a Serrano Pepper plant.  They both had at least 8-12 peppers on them.  But the peppers really didn’t get much larger, even with a dose of fertilizer every 2 weeks.

I went to water them the other day and noticed three of the Poblanos are turning red.  Well then, they obviously think they are ready to be picked, … Read more...

For those that do not know me very well (or haven’t read the About Me section, and shame on you if you haven’t), I am a NASCAR Nut.  I have been one since….oh…about the late 80’s or so.  Even though I am Canadian and *should* love hockey, curling, ice skating and careening down a tree-filled slope 90 miles an hour on a pair of skinny wooden planks, NASCAR is my sport of choice.  There is something about the 43 Supercharged 800+ horsepower engines roaring to life  every week that give me goosebumps.

Leads to Blackness…

Hubby and I went to dinner at the neighbours Saturday night.  The couple with the 4 kids I mentioned in Homestead Halloween.  We had such a great time, and the food was simply awesome (and I am STILL waiting for the recipe for the marinated pork tenderloin kebabs they served – outstanding) as well as the company.

It is friggin DARK when … Read more...

I have Clutter Gremlins living in my Office/Sewing Room.  How else do you explain this mess?

All of sudden, one day out of the blue, I walk into the office and it looks like this….I swear it has to be Clutter Gremlins that hide under the desks and come out to wreak havoc in my teeny space when I am not looking.

After 2 hours of organizing and tossing, it is back to normal…..until the next time the Clutter Gremlins emerge….does anyone else have these mysterious critters in their house?  It can’t be just me that gets blessed with their … Read more...

Childhood Memories

Are you a packrat?

Have you saved every single toy, magazine, book, first piece of chewed gum or lock of hair from your childhood?

If so, you need help…..

Childhood memories are just that, memories.  The mind can store tons of info and images, just like a computer.  Without the worry of hard drive failure to boot.

BUT….

Sometimes you need to have the one special thing from your childhood that you just can NOT get rid of no matter what.  It could be worthless, broken, ripped or torn, but you love it and just can’t let go of it.… Read more...
