I was so glad to aquire this book and know I am not the only human, large or small, affected by this dreadful creature! “Jonathan James and the Whatif Monster” reminds us all that the ‘what if’ syndrome not only depresses our mind but truly cripples our attempts at greatness. …
There are lots of things that make me happy….raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens! Brown paper packages tied up with strings! But, this makes me joyfully, stupidly, ridiculously happy. This is my sink. Please note, it is empty expect for a scotch brite pad, liquid soap and a…
Hi! Hello there! It is FRIDAY people! Cheer up! My chicken and I wish you an awesome weekend! xoxoxoxoxo ( I know this looks a lot like the photo in my ‘Meet the Flock’ post but is in fact, brand new. Apparently this is Chicken’s favorite new pose…) 😉
My child, who is 6 years old, carries with her a serious love of Curious George. They share many of the same qualities and are both, of course, adorable.

And we needed some supper. So instead of just staring back at them I took action! …
This is my third round with brown leghorns. I think these birds often get overlooked in favor of their white counterparts or Rhode Island Reds. I, however, prefer them to either of these breeds. They are quick, fairly docile and, when mature, feature adorable floppy combs! I have 3 right now, hopefully within a month…
Fondant has always frightened me. During my brief period owning a bona fide bakery I always claimed to be a ‘fondant free’ environment. Not only was it scary but it tasted bad. And taste was, and still is, of utmost importance to me. Then about 2 years ago I was prompted to attempt a fondant cake. And…
Tomato Juice. Tomato juice is a labor of love. And since I love my husband and I love Bloody Mary’s I make homemade tomato juice. This year however was different. My good friend, Amanda, suggested we have a canning date and put up juice together! What a lovely idea! It was so much fun and…
In spite of the forecast predicting a killer heat wave Wednesday July 23rd, the early morning hours were quite pleasant. I took a different route this week and headed east instead of west as I left my driveway. I saw TWO humans who both spoke to me which means I had to speak back. I…
