Oh boy did I have a crazy day at the antique store! My friend invited me to join her in a simple quest. Go to one of our favorite antique stores to pick up the lamp she saw there on our last trip, that has not found it’s way out of her head. Sure. I’ve [...]

Today was one of the most peaceful days I’ve had in a while, and it was very much needed. I think one of the keys was time spent wandering around our little farm yard. Just checking in on everyone, with the sun shining, birds singing, ducks squawking, chickens announcing that they just laid and egg. [...]
She Darned A Sock January 26, 2011
Posted in Knitting, Thrifting, Tutorial on January 26, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Honestly, I was pretty okay with the idea when I realized it would necessitate a trip to the antique store, maybe even a couple. Add in my favorite handmade socks have a hole in the pad of the foot, and there was no turning back. It did take a couple stops, but in the end [...]

Apple Sauce (24) Grape Juice (39) More Canning. The grapes were done by putting 1 cup of squished grapes into a quart jar, adding 1/4 cup honey, filling with boiling water, then put in a Water Bath for 25 minutes. These will sit on the shelf until January, giving the grape flavor time to develop. [...]

First, the canned tomatoes from last night were delicious. I took the 1 pint, dumped it in a pan, added 1 pound of fish, salt and pepper, covered and let it bubble and simmer until the fish was done. Broke the fish up, served in a low bowl, topped with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and [...]
She Heard the First Ping of the Season July 19, 2010

Dad and I were chatting today, and both agree, we wouldn't mind one bit if it was March 2010, instead of July. This year is going far too fast, for either of us. But it's July, so onward we go, and must simply try to make the most of each of the remaining days. Today [...]
She is hay rich! July 16, 2010

You'll remember, maybe, a while back that I went to help a local farmer unload their load of hay. I think there were about 300 bales, and the farmer kept saying she felt "hay rich". Today I drove to the "Big City" of Salem NH to pick up the Second Cut Alfalfa that just came [...]

Life has been pretty uneventful. I have done a lot of yard cleanup, some planting (mostly comfrey*), and animal care. Nothing really worthy of telling you about. My camera has been repaired (not replaced…oh well, at least it will work and cost me nothing for the repairs), so soon I shall have pictures on here [...]

I had a wonderful time away with Husband, but before I share some of that with you, I'll share the bad news. I went to Concord today.

I'm over the moon about the mail that arrived today. First, I got this adorable postcard from my friend, Maggie. Isn't that great!? Thank you for thinking of me Miss Maggie! I also received an amazing little treasure. First, I do A LOT of stuff online, I do watch a little TV, I google EVERYTHING, [...]
