The 2024 Garden Year

January 19, 2024 January Our year started with snow, ice and frigid temperatures in mid-January. Our temperatures stayed below freezing for almost a week. I think it was the most consistent cold that we've experienced since moving here. Fortunately, it was a dry snow so there wasn't too much damage. Once again, we almost lost the azara and I'm afraid there would have been some breakage if I had not kept knocking the ice off. February 14, 2024 February In past years, it seems that inclement weather seems to hit around Michael's birthday in mid-February. After the January snow and ice, this month was actually quite tame. Nothing exciting to report - mostly birdwatching . Early flowers like hellebores, cyclamen and crocus begin to bloom in mid month. March 3, 2024 March I got into a walking routine which I'm happy to report I am continuing this year. You get to the point where you feel guilty if you miss a day.

Frozen Lemonade Pie


As much as we needed the rain, I was bummed out that it came on Friday and today. I had tons of work to do in the garden and got very little accomplished. Couldn't the rain have waited until tomorrow?

I made Michael one of his all-time favorite desserts - Frozen Lemonade Pie. It is one of the easiest things in the world to make. We embellished it a few years ago and added more graham cracker crumbs.

Frozen Lemonade Pie

(Makes 2 pies)

3 Graham Cracker Crusts
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk (chilled)
8 oz. Cool Whip (thawed)
12 oz. frozen lemonade (unthawed)

Fold the condensed milk and Cool Whip together. Add the frozen lemonade and gently fold.

Crush one of the pie crusts and stir the crumbs into the mixture.

Pour into the two remaining pie shells and freeze the pies for 6 hours or more until set. Store in freezer.

    Yum! I was a huge fan of Cool Whip as a kid -- could devour it ON ice cream or INSTEAD OF ice cream ;-)

    I still remember how my mom made me fresh whipped cream one time as a treat and I was like, "Um...this is good, but I think I prefer Cool Whip."

    I wish I could take that back and at least have pretended to spare her feelings and show my appreciation for the work that went into making that whipped cream.

    I like to think my palate has become a *little* more sophisticated since then and I've been thinking about whipping up some real cream someday soon (instead of using Readiwhip), but I still have a soft spot for Cool Whip... :P

    I printed this out. Sounds like the perfect dessert for 100 degree heat! Thanks!
