I’m not a sustenance gardener. I’m more of a 4th grade science project gardener. 10 beans from the Camellia bag in my pantry. Old garden box with no soil prep. Water a few times a week if I remember. Yes, I harvested in a frisbee. Result: 2 cups of beans. Next up: black bean hummus. #keepitsimple #nota$500tomato #iykyk #scienceprojecthonorablemention @twistedrunretreat4800
Bishop Cabin is available Father’s Day Weekend. Send your Dad, or let him have the tv to himself all weekend and bring yourself up to Twisted Run Retreat. #porchsitting #donothing #blueskies #gofishing #mississippigulfcoast #staycation #secretcoast #gathergulfcoast
We have our own version of hot yoga in Woolf Pavilion every Tuesday night at 5:30. Yes, there are fans. And water breaks. And slow, gentle movement. And sometimes, extra garden produce! #sharefood #yogaoutside #yogaforlife #yogaforall #morethanasana #mississippiyoga
A little bit of Earth Day from Twisted Run Retreat. The 15 acres border Bluff Creek, and I am dedicated to preventing pesticides and herbicides from leaching into the creek water. My wildflower patch is taking hold (it can take a few years), my veg garden will be only flowers when the heat starts, and I’ve added native azaleas and American beauty berries (some bought, some dug up) around. And a lime tree…a girl needs a little tang once in a while. #plantextraforthedeer #messygardensforthewin #shopinthewoods #takecareoftheearth
Last night, I went to Lowe’s to get a hose holder thingy and some fire starters for Twisted Run Retreat and then walked over to @jasonisbell at @thesoundamphitheater in Gautier, MS. Chores AND a killer concert 25 minutes from Twisted Run. @northmississippiallstars opened and kinda closed (Bett’s “Jessica”…shut up!) #livinglife #livemusic #southmississippi #mississippigulfcoast
Time to get away? Book a tiny cabin at Twisted Run Retreat. Bring a kayak and float to the sandbar. School is IN. You can have the river to yourself. Stay on a Wednesday and join our yoga class. #shade #coolwater #weekdaygetaway
Some visitors just down the way. Sandhill Cranes in the neighbor’s cow pasture.
Betty is being a “good girl” in the back ground and not barking!
Ann Glaviano spent some time dancing at Twisted Run recently. (Then we went to Burger Barn.)

Going into the woods, just across the street from my room, no big deal, waiting for coffee, waking up to the world. (Still fielded work calls, but here. In this.) @sewaneewriters #writersconference #kindavacation #happywhereiam #tennessee #greensviewsewanee #abbosalley
While the cat’s away, the dancers are at work.

We’ve had a lot of flooding this year, but the upside is less boat traffic and a lot more peace. #summer #bluffcreek #pascagoulariver #movingwater #nosandbar #enjoytheview
Lots of gardening today, but a sunset, wine, no boats (thank you Super Bowl), at the end of the day is always the best. #youcouldbehere #ishare #peace #quiet #writers #artists #musicians #dancers
