It’s been yet another tough week, here on planet Earth. Frankly, I have been grateful to be living indoors with adequate water and, occasionally, heat. Last week our not-very-old-furnace tripped the carbon monoxide detector when I wasn’t in the house, but my son and husband were. Still, there was electricity to power that alarm to…

If you’re in a time zone that is more than 4 hours difference from Eastern Time…
I’m often asked which is my favorite technique… And what I always answer is “whichever one I’m working in at the time,” because I love them all!
