Dove Cottage Garden Carrots As summer comes to a close, I find myself in the garden collecting carrots. As I pull them from the ground, I am still in awe of how beautiful they are! Right there, I'll hose one off and nibble while pulling more. Making carrot cake for the bake stand has been a big hit! This week I'm roasting carrots and veggies. (Another article & recipe later) I find myself engrossed in ideas as to what to do next. The marvelous thing about growing our own vegg

If you’ve never bought clothes at Costco … this is your sign. By Kelsey Kunik, RDN The No. 1 thing you should be buying at Costco, but probably aren’t, is clothes. In 2024, Costco sold $9.7 billion in apparel, making it a popular destination for clothing. If you’re looking to save money without sacrificing quality, shopping for clothes at Costco may be a good idea.

POWERFUL ACCURATE WORDS!!!!! Marco Rubio Politics has made us crazy!! .@marcorubio Powerful words from then Senator Marco Rubio on the Senate floor. “I think politics has made us crazy. Everybody in this country has lost their minds on politics, and we have forgotten that America isn’t a government. America isn’t a president. America isn’t a Congress.
