summertime and the living is … painful

June 7, 2011 by admin 4 Comments

I believe this summer will be dubbed the summer I feel my age! I have never really felt as old as the calendar indicated – my daughter has frozen my age at 32 – however, that number has probably thawed since she is 32 + 10!!! The summer demands are much greater than winter’s here… [Read More]

Aunt Lou

June 1, 2011 by admin 21 Comments

In the summer of 1966 I sat under some tall trees, at a picnic table, in my Aunt Lou’s backyard – she had a colorful assortment of flowers growing under the shade of the trees – we were wondering how they grew so well in such deep shade. My Aunt explained that the nursery clerk… [Read More]

SIMON – my awesome grandson!

May 17, 2011 by admin 5 Comments

Simon Robert, born May 28, 2003, is a great little boy. The imagination of a storyteller; the spirit of a warrior; and the generosity of a saint. I have been blessed to play a fairly large part in his life from the time of his birth. Simon was born big – nine pounds and eight… [Read More]

One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp Our book club is currently reading this little gem of a book. It’s like a bowl of your favorite ice cream – every single sentence must be carefully read, held for several seconds, rolled around, and then swallowed and on to the next bite! The book shares Ann’s journey… [Read More]

Definition of MUSE – a verb 1: to become absorbed in thought; especially : to turn something over in the mind meditatively and often inconclusively 2: to think or say reflectively I am a serious muser (is that a word?).

SALAD! Salads are a staple around our kitchen – we eat a lot of greens. Spinach, kale, dandelion greens (when in the yard), Romaine, leaf – you name it we’ve made a salad with it. And, of course you can make a salad as boring or as interesting as you want. Tomatoes, cukes, scallions, onion,… [Read More]

Mom’s Day – a happy remembrance

May 6, 2011 by admin 9 Comments

For the past several days I’ve been feeling guilty for not blogging – my “well” isn’t dry, yet nothing seemed writing-worthy. Then, this morning I signed my daughter’s Mother’s Day card and used her life acronym, F.A.I.T.H. (Firmly Anchored In Trusting Him); then, I read today’s entries in Daily Light and two scriptures jumped off… [Read More]

Cooking with Quinoa

May 6, 2011 by admin 3 Comments

Quinoa, pronounced keen-wah, is not a true cereal grain but rather the botanical fruit of an herb plant. It is treated in cooking as a grain. Quinoa contains more protein than any other grain. Quinoa’s protein is of an unusually high quality – it is a complete protein, with an essential amino acid balance close… [Read More]

So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tend So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tending his garden bed out in the corner of the common area and almost stepped on this Momma lake turtle, laying her eggs. He went away and returned hours later and found she had dampened the area and laid sticks on top! He framed it out in pic 3. 60 day incubation and then all those wee turtles will find their way back to the lake!!! How cool is that? #lakelife #tinyhousebiglife #fromfarmtoflat2tinyhouse
Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come i Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come in! Rest and peace are found within these doors!" 5 years ago this month we left this house, our home for 30 years. We raised one son here, and for A LOT of summers, the old squeaky screendoor opened and closed with the joy of grandkids. Fireflies,  a front porch bat, pussycats, dogs, goats, turkeys, and oinkers grazed the 14 acres. The ring of a blacksmith's anvil clanged for years as my husband designed and created beautiful ironwork. The best goat cheese hung from cheesecloth in its kitchen. Puzzles took shape on the old dining table, and Mexican Train domino challenges snaked along its patina'd surface. Blueberries were picked. Grapes  simmered and bubbled into homebrew! But seasons change. Kids grow and leave home. We grew and left. Happy memories.  Love grew there, and for that, we are forever blessed. Sweet, sweet memories.
