My family caught our first bad cold of the Winter. We all go it, to varying degrees. I am happy to say that herbal remedies and lots of Elderberry syrup was all it took to get through it, but the staggering of sickness had us off our game for over a week. Glad to say [...]

I've been working on this for a while, off and on. I keep thinking there is one more thing I want to make before I give it to the girls. Finally, I decided I could give it to them, if they enjoy it and play with it, and I want to, I can make more [...]

Okay, so the title is probably a bit dramatic… I did find two very helpful, knowledgeable and kind guys, who were willing to fix my oxygen concentrators. I use oxygen concentrators to power my oxygen/propane mix torch for bead making. They are the kind that are used in hospitals and nursing homes, for people who [...]
She Made Autumn Olive Jam February 17, 2010
Posted in Locavore, Needle Felting, Putting Food By on February 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I froze a bunch of the Autumn Olives for when I'd have more time to make them into things, like Jam. I am not sure I have more time, as I anticipated I would this Winter, but I finally made a batch of Jam. I used the pink box of the Sure-Jell, that requires no [...]

I have been meaning to make a seafood chowder, for a while, but never get around to it. Since I picked up shrimp from the Market yesterday, I figured now would be a good time. I sauteed some potatoes, then added shallots, and garlic. Next came the shrimp, cod and lobster, browned quickly, followed by [...]
She Crafted with Mini June 5, 2009

Sad to report Elizabeth won't be hatching any eggs for us. It's probably just as well, since it's getting a bit late for such things, in the season, but it would have been fun. Josephine is still brooding well, and is very dedicated to her nest of eggs. Mini and I had some craft time. [...]

FOR TODAY, Wednesday April 15, 2009 Outside my window… the spinach, peas and swiss chard have been planted. I am thinking… Caroline Ingalls (mother of Laura Ingalls Wilder) was quite a gal. Journeying with her husband and small children to an unknown area, planting gardens, building a home while tending to children, without the use [...]

Girl Scout Cookies. Thin Mints, Samoas, and Trefoils. I don't care what is in them, how far away they come from, none of it. Just give me the cookies! I realized it was that time of year, and that I must not know any Girl Scouts, or perhaps the young ladies are more focused on [...]

FOR TODAY, Wednesday March 4, 2009 Outside my window… Chickens are playing in the dirt. They have had a rough day. We found out that what I thought was a molt, is not, but rather is Northern Poultry Mites. Some of the girls have been pecking each other and have caused wounds. None of this [...]

I started out early, and ended up a wee bit late, but the seed list is finalized. Dad came over to help me finalize, and talk through all my many choices. The bulk are coming from High Mowing Seeds, as I was so thrilled with them last year, and they are my geographical neighbors, in [...]
