Grasseater Woman posted a recipe for coconut ice cream in Sumptuous Feasts. I had all the ingredients so I was the guinea pig for the forum. I didn’t go exactly by the recipe so I’m taking the liberty of calling this one my own. Note: I’m cheating and taking an already existing page and putting [...]

I was busying myself in the kitchen preparing the Christmas feast. It was a traditional menu for us and pretty much like the Thanksgiving repast. Sometimes the macaroni and cheese made way for mashed potatoes and gravy. I always fixed twice the potatoes we would eat so there would be leftovers for potato patties the [...]

I’m revising my posting schedule to bring you a brief summary of my day. It will be of interest to my sisters if no one else. However, the people who have been reading my blog have become acquainted, in a sense, with my mother. Most of this will be about her resting place. My Sunday [...]

I’ve been watering my little garden every day to keep it green and growing. The people I work with who have conventional gardens either have to water or let their gardens burn to a crisp. We haven’t had a good rain for weeks. There’s been a smattering here and there but it’s getting scary dry [...]

I was planning to make this part of last night’s post and forgot it. Just in case the people who have visited since might be interested, I decided to make it separate. When we were living in Nebraska, one of my favorite stores was the Christian book store. I think it was The Shepherd’s or [...]

until October. I went by today to get one of his most excellent cantaloupes. They were out and down to a very small selection of other produce. Imagine my dismay when I was greeted with the news that today would be their last day for THREE MONTHS give or take. I’d gotten a couple of [...]

Homeschooling. It sounds very Mother Earth-like. Actually, it is. The first teacher most children have is the mother whether she realizes it or not. My mother would describe children as “sponges” ready to soak up whatever was around them. I like to think of them as little tape recorders—maybe these days they’d be MP3 players [...]
