Evening Snow Walk in My April Garden

8 Comments

In this post I share a few photos and a video featuring the snow we have in mid-April. It is fun to see how the plants respond. In this post you will enjoy an evening snow walk in my spring garden. Evening Snow Walk in My April Garden Video This video doesn’t have any words just some sounds from the snow, birds and YouTube music. Tell me what you think about this video style. I really like it because it is easy to share what is going on in my world. https://youtu.be/4mV9ytIyJy8 If you are having issues viewing the video be sure to check out my Bren Haas YouTube Channel. Images From The Walk Just a few images of the walkout to the front landscape. I stayed on the driveway most of the time because I was too lazy to dig out my ‘snow’ boots this time of year. The colors of the newly sprouting trees and shrubs were just wonderful. Don’t feel bad for the daffodils in the border of the landscape below. Those flowers were done a few days ago after a long early bloom season. The photo below shows the new green grass peeking out of the meadow in the front. One of my favorite trees to take photos of especially in the spring is really loving the fresh kiss of snow. The photo below is my Candymint Crabapple tree along the driveway. It is starting to be normal to get snow in April. Thank goodness my delicates are in the dome garden. The Tulip along the front of the porch landscape has got to be my favorite this year. I did bring a few in the house to enjoy on the kitchen windowsill. Me of little faith – they did much better than I thought they would have with the snow. Sharing the windowsill with cactus, lettuce starters and more spring blooms. Let’s Connect I would love to hear from you so be sure to comment on this post or reach out to me on my contact page.

Moving to the country made me jealous of the boys and their toys used to clean up large trees. After reviewing a few power tools in my home garden over the last few years it has come to my attention that having the right tool for the job is essential. In this post, I will share things to consider before purchasing a chainsaw based on what helped me make my choice. This Power Tool Rocks I think my friend Geri Laufer who shared “armed and ready! this Gal packs heat”. I LOVE IT… this tool ROCKS! Purchasing from a reputable online store tops my list of things to consider before purchasing a chainsaw. You can get one on Amazon at a great price! Three Things To Consider Before Purchasing A Chainsaw Since 2003 I have been clearing overgrown trees, maintaining wood lines, and planting additional trees and shrub. During that time, I have relied on others who could easily complete tasks too large for me. It wasn’t until recently I found the confidence to pursue owning my own chainsaw. Before adding a chainsaw to my garden shed these were the things I considered before purchasing. Chainsaw Specs: The size and weight of the power tool. Additional expenses: fuel, oil, maintenance, blade sharping. The job: study and research the tree or shrub and if a power tool such as a chainsaw was needed. Husqvarna chainsaw in this post in exchange for an honest review of their site. All the content featured on Things To Considered Before Purchasing a Chainsaw post is my honest opinion.

Farro Mushroom Risotto Recipe

No Comments

This ancient grain has become super popular over the years because of its nutty flavor and how easy it is to prepare. There are so many good reasons to incorporate this whole grain into your diet. In this post, I share my favorite Farro Mushroom Risotto Recipe. Farro Mushroom Risotto Recipe Risotto is a northern Italian rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency. In this recipe, I use the ancient grain Farro instead of rice. It is one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. Here are the ingredients you will need for this recipe: If you can’t find shiitake mushrooms I have used morel or even baby portabella. Don’t forget my rule when it comes to the wine – only use the good stuff you would drink! You will need: butter shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, de-stemmed, and diced shallots (about ¼ cup), minced garlic, minced 1 cup Farro white wine vegetable stock parmesan cheese yogurt pine nuts fresh chives You can find the complete recipe in the printable recipe section below on this post. I hope you reach out and tell me what you think about this recipe on the social media links below. Tips for Storing Whole Grains I can usually find Farro at ALdi and always on Amazon. There are a few different brands I’ve used and I can always count on Bob’s Red Mill Brand. Because whole grains include the bran and germ of the grain, they must be stored a bit more carefully than their refined counterparts. Store grains covered, in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight for no more than 3 months for flours and meals and 6 months for intact grains. Consider keeping any grains or flours you don’t plan to use immediately in the freezer for best results.
