Exploring the real Madrid It’s often said about Spain’s capital that its residents seldom go to bed until they've “killed the night”. But if you think a preference for ludicrously late nights means you’ll get Madrid all to yourself by day, think again, as the city has mastered the art of functioning on next to no sleep.

Google Play Music Storage and Streaming Service Complimentary service received. All opinions are my own. Years ago, music was all about your digital library. I remember my oldest telling me how many songs she had in her iPod with a big grin. I, for one, never joined those ranks. I have my favorite singers or bands, but the repetition of the same songs over and again bores me. I just tuned in to my local radio station when I wanted to … [Read more...]

Creating a Meadow Herb Garden
by 11 Comments
Creating a Meadow Herb Garden I recently shared how to start a potted herb garden and shared a few great spring herbs to plant. You’ve decided you are going to plant one, but the potted method just doesn’t do it for you. Let’s think bigger. Creating a meadow herb garden is all about combining the right types of plants that are both grassy and have bright colored flowers. Rustic gold, burning reds, pale pinks and barely there white … [Read more...]
