Move Over, Morris

December 17, 2009 by Jeanne

Move over, Morris. This photo of Pierre under our Christmas tree was chosen for one of the local newspapers this week. I can ink Pierre’s paw if you’d like an autograph.

This has been a great week for the whole family. Pierre’s photo was chosen to grace the local newspaper. A friend from college who now teaches high school in northern Virginia asked me to speak at the high school’s career day about careers in writing, so I’m heading north in February to bore 60 high school students to death. Should be a blast. Best of all, the high school is in the same town as my brother, his family, and my niece and her family, so I will get to visit my precious new grand-nephew too.

I was given the title Senior Writer on LovetoKnow, and Helium just awarded me “Journalist” status, which is a nice professional badge and provides additional writing opportunities.

Luckily, we have Hubby to keep our heads from swelling too much, right Pierre?

    Sounds like you’ll have a wonderful time visiting your family in Northern Virginia. It’s quite different from the Southern part of the state. Where in NoVa are you going?

How to Build a Vegetable Garden Using Raised Beds

If you’re thinking about building a vegetable garden this year, raised beds are one of the best ways I know of to start a vegetable garden.

Henbit: Plant Profile

I’ve put together this henbit plant profile to spotlight a lovely plant – which many gardeners consider a weed. Weed or flower? To me, it’s a matter of perspective.

Winter Homesteading Projects

Even though it’s cold and snowy out, winter homesteading projects beckon. As I write this, snow is falling in sheets outside my office windows, covering the orchard trees with a blanket of white. Last week, an ice storm knocked power out for 36 hours – and knocked pines down every which way. We had poles…
