    Books We Have Read

    book club snacks We had a major loss some time ago. Then I guess I have gone through a depression and have gotten behind here…. We have read several books. Including The Bone People by Keri Hulme, it was about 3 very damaged people and the way they damaged each other until they managed to…

    Good Bye Yoda, We Love You

    Tragedy struck our farm not long ago… Yoda, our bestest boy ever crossed the rainbow bridge. He was a loved and adored member of our family. For me, he was the closest thing to a child that I am likely to ever have. It has taken me a long time to process losing this good…

    Spring

    Sadly, these photos are a little behind the times now. I have been having blog issues and difficulties which is why I have not been posting. I hope to get it all worked out and functional before too long. If I am brutally honest, I hate computers. I know how to type and that is…

  • The Perfume Thief

    The Perfume Thief

    The Perfume thief, was really fun to do as a book club book. I am so grateful to Mr. Schaffert, for this book that took us back to another time and to another place. I at least was truly transported to the Bordellos of France, 1941, during the German occupation.

    Finally a guest!

    And this, is why we keep trail cams. We like to know who is visiting the property. Check out this bad boy a bit closer to the chicken coop than is good news. He seems to have dropped by in the last few days. I feel pretty sure he was seeking a chicken dinner. He…

    Spring is Early This Year

    it’s evening now, and ironically since I took these photos it has snowed again and we are expecting even more over the weekend. The temperature this winter has been freakish. Major cold blasts then very warm then sudden cold blast again. It is going to wreak havoc on the plants that have started producing buds…

    Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

    Yes unfortunately I don’t have a big photo for this book. I am having picture sizing issues cuz I am not a techy. But I love this image as one to associate with Neverwhere. You see the tall and ancient bridge juxtaposed against modern architecture. Showing only 2 of the many worlds of the city…

  • Solidarity with Ukraine

    I am sorry. I have no pretty pictures to post tonight. Even if I did, I will not cheapen this moment in history by talking about happy things and the smell of baking bread. Sorry. I don’t have that level of callousness in me. So, at least for this post… No pretty pictures. The world…

    Arbella England's Lost Queen January 2022 book

    In January, the book club read a brilliant biography about a foot note of England’s royal history, Arbella Stuart. Who was also a Tudor… Unfortunately, as seems to be her lot in life and now in death, she got cheated. Our book club discussion was unfortunately not possible due to snow storm. A very real…

    New England’s Answer To Alaskan Homestead Nettle Bread

    Sitting here, in the wood stove’s warmth, I can see the trees, they look cold and stressed by the winter. Perhaps it is the unwinter like warmth lately… It is February, usually a month of blizzards this year a month of mud. And I keep hearing we shouldn’t be concerned about climate change…. Right… I…
