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…

A Little Bit Of Pretty On A Grey Day

Some pretty goes a long way when it has been too much gray and quarantine… Yesterday, I went out in the sunshine, hung out with the dog, and collected violets to make jelly. When I finally had enough I put them in the fridge over night. Today I took this picture prepping my violets for…

Shifting Season

by
Yesterday, we had sunshine…. Yesterday the sky was blue and I watched a pair of randy robins for some time out by the edge of my woods… Today, the weather has shifted. The rain taps on the windows. The sky is grey and this clean moisture can also be smelled as well as viewed in…

Yes I can!

I feel a sense of pride. Tonight Dr. Farmer Moomin, and I taught ourselves to can. We explored our new water canner with some bought apples. I am grateful to the farm I shop at for helping me out with bulk. The Wilson Farms in Lexington, has been my favorite place to shop since always.…
