Do something today to make our world – and our future – better and brighter! Plant a tree, some flowers or veggies. Use less stuff, recycle and reuse. Walk, ride a bike, take a bus, or carpool with a friend. Turn off some lights or the TV. Conserve. Little things make a huge difference!
I love it! I love the taste. I love the smell. I love the shape of the plant. And basil must like me too because my plants tend to get huge. But that’s OK. I will eat it all summer long! There are many different varieties of basil and I have tried several, but my […]
What a fun time we had! The original plan was to get out there early and spend the whole day, but with back aches and headaches and a few other chores, we only managed to get there around 3:30PM. That’s not much time considering that it only ran from 9:00Am to 5:00PM. We hadn’t been […]
The Passionflower has to be one of the coolest flowers I know. It reminds me of a little flower space ship. It also happens to be a Texas native so it loves it here in my yard. The Passionflower (passiflora incarnata) has many wonderful qualities, one of which is that it is the host plant […]

This is the Gulf Coast Penstemon or sometimes called the Brazos Penstemon. The scientific name is Penstemon tenuis. It is a Texas native from the marsh areas. It does well in standing water and poorly drained soils, but I have also found it to be very drought tolerant. It is in a part of the […]
I love dragonflies. I once saw one take down a fly that was almost as big as it was. I love watching them. They are like little helicopters in their movements. This one was a regular in our back yard a couple of years ago. As near as I can tell, it is some sort […]
Peach trees are originally from China and thought to have made their way to the Mediterranean by way of the Silk Road. Who knows how they got to Texas. This is a pair of weeping peach trees that I got from a friend that had to leave all of her plants behind when she moved. […]
A friend, Julie, asked to borrow a tiller the other day in order to till up part of her yard for a garden. I don’t till. I do have an antique tiller that worked quite well for my mother, but I’m too lazy (and environmentally conservative) to till. I don’t want to hurt my earthworms, […]
Typograph is a standards compliant theme with a JQuery powered tabbed sidebar box and an ad under the first post on the index page. This theme has no images and is purely based on CSS elements and typography. Ideal for future customization. Typograph was styled "from the ground up" on a highly customized version of the Sandbox theme.
Designed by Morten Rand-Hendriksen - designer, information philosopher and author based out of Burnaby, BC.
You can change the contents of the tabbed box by editing the tabbedBox.php file located in the Typograph theme directory.
