Mint Sun Tea. Easy peasy!

Not the only use for which I can imagine using mojito mint, but a good one nonetheless. Mint sun tea: put a bunch of mint in a big glass container & fill with pure, clean, cool water. Set in sun for a while.

Every year I attempt to portray what it is like to live under a blooming wisteria. I still don't think I've captured it. The blossoms are so lovely, so delicate, so prolific. The smell is so heady, so captivating. We have, in the past, invited all to our Wisteria Festival, but this year the blooms came (2 weeks early!) on a weekend when we're just too busy. I hope you enjoy these photos half as much as I thrill to see this incredible event. Thank you Pat Berger for this most beautiful wedding present.

1.5 lbs. cleaned, beautiful, yummy Genovese and Napolitano basil pulled yesterday on Our Little Farm = 7 cups delicious basil pesto, plus extra basil in the fridge for fresh.

We have launched a new adventure at The Crawford Studios - Farming!!! This fall we embraced the urban homesteading movement and transformed our 9,000 sq. ft. lot into Our Little Farm, which produces enough veggies and citrus for us to sell at a farmers market.

The earth is a garden, we are all farmers, we must take care of her. But in case digging in the dirt is not your thing, come to the Goodyear Farmers Market on Estrella Mountain Parkway & Van Buren on Sundays, from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m., for fresh, local, natural veggies and more!
