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.

June 8, 2024 Nox loves to look around the edge of the steps into the kitchen when Bruce is doing something in the kitchen. When she is feeling good, she loves to climb up the ridge and stop along the way to sniff the area. Nox can no longer walk the entire trail, so she […]
