A new year has begun. I’m making turkey stock. That’s my big New Year’s Day event. It’s lingering into the day after that too. Making stock right means long simmers, and using good ingredients. Nourishing Traditions has good recipes for whole eating. That’s where the stock recipe I’m using comes from. [Here’s an article online […]
To all my fellow American citizens: Happy Thanksgiving! We’ll be having the traditional Turkey and the rest that’s been traditional for my side of the family, well, the things I’ve loved to continue, minus the things I haven’t 😉 Stuffing and gravy, mashed potatoes, cauliflower, green been casserole, sweet potato casserole, rolls, Cranberry sauce (yes, […]
Not so nice. It was clear all evening and up to 3am. I checked outside at 4am next, and it was totally overcast. 🙁 Out of nowhere it seemed to come. (Maybe it was on it’s way, I hadn’t been checking the weather radar.) The updated weather forecast was for clear to partly cloudy that […]

It’s Autumn. Our Autumn Flame Maple trees are turning orange and losing their leaves. (that’s with the help of the drought this Summer as well, not entirely due to Autumn). And we are anxiously awaiting our bigger October Glory Maple tree in the front yard to begin turning color. It survived the drought just fine. […]
My laptop is in for service. It’s running hot and won’t start in anything but SAFEMODE, and that’s IF it’ll start. 🙁 I miss my friend. Makes it easy to keep up with my online life, to have a roving machine. A homeschooling mother needs to be here and there, doing this and that in […]
