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!

Now that it’s nearing the end of August, I suppose it’s time for a 2015 garden update. One of the things I’ve learned to love about gardening is how each year is so different. The first few years, I found this very frustrating: what grew well one year didn’t grow well the next. However, I’ve
