Fashion over 50: Glamour Farms Top

Before I get started on Fashion over 50, I wanted to introduce something new to my blog! I'm going to start adding some videos to my sidebar, so I'll have my own video channels going here and the first one I want to share is my dad in his garden. I did as many of you suggested and talked to him about his garden and got it on video to share with all of you. Hope you enjoy listening! Just as an FYI, we lived next door to the house they are in now for 10 years and that's the house that we picked up rocks from the garden. He purchased an acre lot, gardened on that lot and then built the house they are in now which is right next door. So, this garden goes back to the 70's and the first house, to the 60's. Lauren is filming the video for us. Enjoy! You can watch here and it will stay on my sidebar too for future viewing.

Hey and welcome to another Fashion over 50! The heat in Atlanta has cranked up to a sweltering 95 degrees this week and we are just trying to stay cool these days. We complain every year about the heat, but somehow survive it until September gets here and things start cooling off again. So, during these hot summer months, I'm all about cool and casual. Glamour Farms sent me this cute cold shouldered top to style and it's a nod to the upcoming 4th of July holiday. Not exactly red, white and blue, but close!

I styled it two ways, one with white jeans and one with white shorts.

Written by R. Ann Parris on The Prepper Journal.

Growing and storing foods is commonly a goal we strive for as we seek self-sufficiency. The easiest and fastest way to store foods is, of course, just dumping it into a root cellar or grain bin or barn, although not everything does so hot with that treatment.

Sweet Pea Seedpods: Tips On Collecting Seeds From Sweet Peas

By Jackie Carroll Sweet peas are one of the mainstays of the annual garden. When you find a variety you love, why not save the seeds so you can grow them every year? This article explains how to collect sweet pea seeds. How Do I Collect Sweet Pea Seeds? Old fashioned or heirloom sweet peas are charming and fragrant flowers.

A Popup Vineyard in Atlanta

As a blogger, I get a lot of emails from various companies, PR groups, etc. with invitations to all sorts of events. Some of them are interesting to me and something I might enjoy and some of them are not. A couple of weekends ago, I was invited by Lexus to an outdoor food event called a Pop Up Vineyard, in the heart of Midtown. I thought that was pretty fascinating in itself and combine that with the Food and Wine Festival which was going on at the time and it sounded like a very fun event to attend. The vineyard was created in conjunction with the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival. And I happen to love food tastings!

So, I took my sweetheart, Mark, with me and we had a wonderful summer evening out in Midtown, between the highrise buildings, eating some delicious food and just enjoying the ambience of live music and being outside.
