AT THE WATER’S EDGE:
LIVING LIFE AND LEARNING ALL I CAN ALONG THE WAY
Journey with Me
Hi there! My name is Dana. I created this space as a place to share the things I learn along this journey I call life. I am a Jesus follower, wife, twin mom and dog mom. I work in marketing/sales analytics and I’m a sort of Jane of All Trades, interested in all things nature, gardening, cooking, crafting, traveling, exploring and learning new things. This blog is a conglomeration of my interests, hobbies, life and life lessons. Thanks for stopping by!

It’s hard to believe that it’s already that time of year again – time for the beauty of the autumn leaves, the crisp air, cider mills, and of course: pumpkins. I had some of my own pumpkins grow in my garden this year. Unfortunately, they came July thru September – a little early for my

This month marks 10 months now that I’ve been on Humira. Overall, it has worked great, and I have not experienced any side effects. It was a little rough getting started, but I really feel like I have continued to make progress since March and feel the best I have in a long time. I’m

Hockey games can definitely induce Raynaud’s… For about as long as I can remember, my fingers have turned white when exposed to cold. My toes, too, actually. Sometimes the entire finger or toe; sometimes just part of it. They usually get at least a little numb, too. Sometimes it lasts for just a few minutes,

This week marks three years since we’ve been in our house. That means I’ve now had three years of gardens, and with those three years of experience has come a lot of learning! I didn’t really know anything about gardening, and still feel like I don’t…but I do know that I’ve learned some things along

I realized that I’ve been really slacking on the blog this month. I don’t know what it is, but I just haven’t felt the urge to write and I’ve been lacking in ideas for topics. So, naturally, I turned to Twitter hoping to find someone willing to offer a suggestion. Sure enough, Gina came through

Can you identify? I think it’s just some variety of green chili pepper… My garden is not doing so well. I’ll be honest. I’m disappointed. The heat, and my sporadic watering, coupled with the deer and squash bugs have left my garden lacking in produce. The deer have eaten my Swiss chard again, so I

I don’t like to think of myself as a forgetful person, but sometimes I am. When it comes to taking medicine, I can usually get into a routine and keep it going without forgetting very often. Of course, this is easier under a couple of conditions: 1) When the medicine is taken daily, 2) When

What are the desires of your heart? What is it that you want more than anything? A spouse? A child? A job? Financial security? Good health? Fill in the blank…there are a myriad of things that we chase after as the one thing that we think we need to be fulfilled. What do I want

I just wanted to post a few of the recipes that I’ve made recently. I’ve tried a couple of my own and found a couple online that I’ve tried for the first time. Let’s start with the holidays, because that always brings out something fun and festive! We spent time with family around the 4th

I have had a new visitor to my vegetable garden this year: deer. We have a field-ish type area behind our house, scattered with trees, and there are deer that live back there. From time to time we’ll see them in the backyard, but until this year, they’d stayed clear of my garden. A couple
