How Does Your Garden Grow?

Since I've just moved into my new place, I haven't had time to devote to a garden....so I have chosen an easy alternative...but one that is most useful!  

I chose to focus on a few herbs and some pepper plants this year, and I'm doing so with a "container garden".  I'm sorry to say my pepper plants (that I have always had great success with) aren't doing so well at producing.  The plants themselves are healthy and growing, but they just won't produce!  However, my herbs are really thriving, and I've enjoyed using them in some favorite dishes this summer!

Just Like Mayberry....Sort Of...

Thanks for joining me again on my trip through quaint little towns of Tennessee.

Today, I'm going to focus on a little town called Bell Buckle.

It has such qualities of a "Mayberry" type town that you think you'll see Barney Fife running across the road and into the drugstore!  LOL  And...I happen to be blessed by living just a short distance from this small, Middle Tennessee town.

You will be SURPRISED at what this little town has to offer!!!

Let's take a look!!!

Follow Me To Tennessee...

I  Tennessee!

My state, the Volunteer State, has so much to offer....

rolling hills...

water falls...

farmland...

lakes galore...

Rocky Top...

So, I thought I'd share some things to do when visiting our great state...

This post will be dedicated to Sweetwater, Tennessee...

So let's go....Follow me to Tennessee!!!

Sweetwater is a small town of around 6,000.

Cross the railroad tracks that run through Sweetwater....

and find lots of antiques in this quaint little town...

Take a look....

Nothing Like Comfort Foods

There's nothing like  roast, potatoes, and carrots in the crockpot!  And what makes it even more special and yummy is great seasonings and fresh herbs from the garden!

Wordless Wednesday

Yes, I do realize I am a day late for Wordless Wednesday....but that's how I roll...LOL

So ENJOY my pics for Wordless Wednesday on a Thursday!

Treat Her to a Tea Party

Tea Parties and Little Girl (and Big Girls) always go together!

All Moved In...

Ok, I said I wasn't going to do this...you know, the disappearing act...Ha!  But I did.  Eeeek!  Things got crazy busy in the spring getting ready for state testing...only to have it called off ( Yes!  I said CALLED OFF...as in NONE...which is a FIRST...and after all the time we put into computer skills so they could drag/drop, toggle between two articles, highlight, etc. because they were expected to do it on the computer, AND the program crashed every practice day!)

Then, all of my energy had to go into MOVING....not just my regular move of furniture in my classroom, at the end of the year, but MOVING homes again!  My year's lease was up on June 1, and I chose not to renew it.  The stairs in my townhouse were taking it's toll on my knees!  Also, my Emmy Rose needed a yard.  So the moving began again!  Now Emmy has a wonderful yard (which will soon be fenced) and I have a garage again...and a covered patio!
