A Kraut Pounder…turning that huge cabbage from the farmer’s market into lacto-fermented sauerkraut tomorrow! Bellows! I have been looking for a functional bellow. Bellows? Not sure. Anyway, I wanted one and today [...]

I have been wanting to learn how to use a chain saw for a very long time now. The problem is, I had been asking my dad. It seem like a good idea. He lives next door, has a chain saw, knows how to use it, is a very safety conscious guy, and let’s face [...]

Little Miss Ewoyn had her first ballet recital today. What an amazing little girl. It’s hard to believe she’s almost 5, but even in her fourness, it’s hard to believe what she’s capable of. Children really deserve far more credit as actual people, than they are given. The recital was very well done, and enjoyable [...]

The bad news first. My experiment with the two sister rabbits didn’t go as I’d hoped. The one with three left had her nest box full of litter and all the babies were dead. Not sure if it was an issue with them sharing a space, or if she’s a bad mom, or what, but [...]

I’ve mentioned before that I want a milking animal because I have veggies, meat, and fruit all coming from my own land, but not milk, and we drink a lot of it. We also would love to have “extra” to make cheese or feed to baby chicks, but when you buy it in, buying extra [...]

Christopher turned another year older today. It’s such an interesting occurrence to grow older with a person. The ways we change, the people we become. I won’t get all gooey on the internet, but I will say, he’s a wonderful man, and I’m honored to be by his side, through another year of this life [...]

The girls saw their Grandmother’s yesterday and today, so I didn’t want to post about the gifts until all had been given… Last fall I removed some grape vines from some trees at my grandmother’s house. She didn’t want them there, so I pulled them out. She didn’t want to keep them, so those that [...]

This morning began with the Underground breakfast. I've mentioned this before, but for those who don't know, there is a local guy who makes a breakfast of local food, for anyone who wants to stop by and pay his cover charge. It's all inclusive, and the meals are great! I had the Ravioli Benedict, which [...]
She Filled her Home with Scents! December 19, 2010

The lovely lemons that fabulous Jennifer sent to me have been waiting patiently for me, while I ignored them, quite rudely. We'll, I guess not ignored them, I did keep checking to be sure they were still looking plump and lovely. Finally today, with Christopher and the girls off visiting family, I thought I'd make [...]
She Wrote a Dear John Letter October 31, 2010

Dear October, We have been close for many years. You have always promised, and delivered, cool nights, crisp and bright days, the sweet smell of earth going to rest. A slower pace, a calm before the storm of the holidays to come. The joy of wearing sweaters and enjoying a cozy afghan. But this year, [...]
