Building an apothecary
—
by
I have spent some time now studying herbalism through Cornell University. It has been amazing and interesting for those that love to use nature to heal. Living out here it is rather imperative to keep an apothecary of healing herbs. Because we live a little distance from a hospital it can take time to get…
In The Woods By Tana French

by
As usual lately the book club met today. A small group of us anyway. A smaller group than usual lately, we meet to discuss books. Life happens though and as committed as we all are, it isn’t possible all the time for everyone to make it. This was a meeting that suffered from more of…
The Garden Squatter

by
The sun was shining today, the air was actually clear and breathable for the first time in a month. I picked a bad time to return to my education.I would have been better served had I chosen to do so over the winter. Homesteading is labor intensive and time consuming especially this time of year.…
Bannish Tea For Female Woes

We should all be adults here. I know I certainly am not writing for the under age crowd. I write assuming they are busy on Tiktok, not at all interested in what I have to talk about. My life is a very natural one in a vast many aspects. I like it that way. One…

I mix a bit of this and a bit of that, on dreary days like today, in the kitchen to create something that smells good but more importantly…
Pikku, The Dog Has An Ear Infection

Pikku, the dog, is a bit of a handful. Partly just because she is huge. Partly because she is all sass and teenage doggy angst. Very sweet, good heart but what a naughty one. We love her very much though certain issues have come up. The issues for tonight I wanted to talk about is,…

The weather is still off stinking… I can’t believe it. I have never seen a July this ugly. The humidity is absolutely suffocating…. It is sort of raining… I have been busy studying herbalism, reading In The Woods, by Tana French, for book club, hanging with my doggies, doing the usual homesteading junk. Frusterated over…
My Contribution To Book Club
—
by
This morning, was a book club brunch tea meeting. For which I made baked pear. This is so simple. The only tough part is scooping it out to create the bowl. Then just wipe it with olive oil, sprinkle a coating of brown sugar. Bake it at 350 for half an hour. Fill with granola…
