Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Keller Williams Realty Boise
It is official harvest season from neighborhood gardens! All the posts I am seeing on social media confirm certain vegetables and herbs are ripe for the picking! Pun intended.

I am at a loss for words over the devastating events from the past week. Senseless murder from police brutality. Ongoing racism in America that has festered worse than a virus. Anger levels at a peak that is not going to diminish this time. Amid so much sorrow, there is evidence of solidarity from protests... Continue Reading →
