Hi Reader,
Good morning,
Hope you are having a great week! It’s been super hot here but thankfully, we are getting lots of rain this week. We need it so bad.
Have you ever felt scared to prune or transplant a tree? Well, today I am sharing a How To Guide on How to Pune and Transplant Trees. I used to be afraid to do it too. This guide will go over timing and techniques on how to prune. Transplanting a tree can be tricky but I feel like we all need to do it at some point. I’ll show you my most recent Cherry Tree that I wanted to move to another location. We got it planted and it looked dead after a week. Read below and see how it all turned out.
It’s BBQ season and I have the perfect Sweet Potato Fries that you can fix to go along with hamburgers, hotdogs, wings or even pulled pork. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Hint: They are oven baked. So good! They are perfect dipped in Homemade Buttermilk Ranch. 😋
Learn how to make this simple and cozy DIY Wall Hanging Flower Basket. It’s perfect inside the home hanging on the wall or a door. It is also great on the front porch in lieu of a wreath.
