    I promised I would get this up as soon as I could because I already put the cart before the horse in my last post. Where I shared my recipe for laundry detergent and dish soap.

    The sunlight spills in to spite the cloudiness of the sky in the kitchen today. All kinds of fun and interesting things happen in the Wildflower kitchen. Things get canned, dehydrated, created…..

    In the background I hear the tv…. Before I say one more thing and transport you to Wildflower, here with me for a moment… Let me just say… NO JUSTICE NO PEACE! Black Lives Matter. Yes they do. They always have and they always will. It is a disgrace in 2020 that we are having…

    Just sitting here after the rain…  Alone, with the smell of apples, molasses, maple sugar, and cinnamon, wafting through the house, getting caught in the air bubbles of the old barn wood beams of the kitchen… Holding the fragrance so it lasts longer than you would think it should… The beautiful aroma, mixes with the…
