Christmas eve is a day I love. Christmas eve is spent at my grandparents, which is where I spent much of my childhood. I am joined there each December 24th by my aunties, uncles, cousins, my cousins children, my brother, sister, parents and pets of various species. We visit, cook, laugh, catch up and take…
I adore my chickens. To me they are precious and irreplaceable, kinda of like my daughter. Only I love my daughter way more. I haven’t been able to spend as much time as I would like with either one of them. As a retail slave I’ve been serving the public for 14 years, 11 of…
I have a husband that loads the dishwasher, sometimes more than once a week! I know, I know, I shouldn’t boast. But hey, I’m a lucky girl and I know it. But. When he loads the dishwasher is looks like a random splattering of dishes, no rhyme or reason whatsoever. I can not abide this. …
You know all the months and dollars spent preparing for Christmas? The wonder, the excitement? And then what happens? I’ll tell you what happens.

The entire year seems to revolve around October and December. As soon as one year passes the next year immediately begins forming plans and yet…
I have a friend and her name is Amanda. She is funny, out-going, talented, thoughtful, forgetful and completely adorable. She is my opposite. I am neither funny nor outgoing, I am thoughtful (I think), I am not forgetful (although I did forget to go to work one time but that is another post) and I’m…
December the 10th was a really good day. Not only was the weather perfect for walking, I harvested a spike (perfect double lung shot, pats self on back) and made cookies for Addie’s piano recital. A well-rounded day. The early morning hours revealed lots of beauty. Here is what I saw. Dew-coated pod and a…
I haven’t posted a recipe in awhile, not because I haven’t cooked or consumed any food. No, my winter layer of warmth is coming along quite nicely thanks to rolls, truffles, cake balls and stew. Not all eaten together of course. I’ve just been lazy. BUT I want to share with you the fastest, most…
Seriously wondering if my super crappy vacuum cleaner is picking up any dirt or paper particles AT ALL. However, the vacuum marks on the carpet do make it look like I care…….which I do. Once upon a time I scrubbed my floors at least once a week, vacuumed on my way out the door so…
