Reason for Absence: Big Happy News
Oh, so where to start? I have been missing from GCER for about a month. I have flicked through Instagram, maybe did some quick posts on my personal (not GCER) Facebook page, but pretty much I have been MIA online. I have a good reason. A happy reason. I’m excited to share it here, although a few of you probably already know because I did share this on IG Friday night / Saturday morning.

August Life, Sliced and Diced
Well, it is August and this summer is rolling towards its end. I can’t say that I’m sorry: 2020 is no one’s favorite, it’s been way too hot, and the garden has been challenging. BUT, the chickens are a riot and laying now, so I am seeing my glass as half full. [Read more…] about August Life, Sliced and Diced
