I am a retired software solutions architect. I have been married to my husband, Bruce, for over forty years. We went full-time RVing for 3.5 years and saw much of the United States. After deciding to stop RVing, we bought a ranch house halfway up a hill on five acres. After Bruce and I talked about names for our five acres, we settled on Blackberry Homestead as a homage to the wild blackberries on the hill. We are working on creating our homestead. I love cooking and enjoy sharing recipes. I am also an artist, and I’ll share my current projects. Gardening and reading are my favorite hobbies.

September 4, 2020 This picture is from August 24. The Concord grapes had ripened in mid-to-late August. You can see were I had pulled off some grapes that had ripened earlier. While the raccoons didn’t get the grapes this year, the squirrels developed a fondness for them and ate a lot of the grapes.

As a child, I hated butterbeans or lima beans with a passion; as an adult, I find I still can not stand them. As such, I never liked succotash, until I had it at a restaurant in Colorado. They didn’t use the dreaded butterbeans or lima beans and it was a wonderful dish. This my […]
