Linda, Author at Mason Jar Crafts Love

I fear I’m botanically challenged. But that doesn’t stop me from dreaming … sigh. In fact, I picked up a herb plant at the grocery store last week. Basil. I’ve watered it. I’ve shown it the sun. I haven’t yet talked to it … but it’s dying. It’s like the minute […]

Citronella Candles

There are many things I love about summer. But mosquitos aren’t one of those things. In fact, I’m a mosquito magnet. I can barely step outside at dusk without being bitten. And forget working in the garden. I have to do a full-on DEET spray down before I can tackle and yard work. […]
