Apple Cake This morning we made an apple cake. Not just any ordinary apple cake however, but the very recipe on the back of the book, “The Apple Cake” by Nienke van Hichtum. We love this story. It reinforces not only the idea of sharing and giving, but of community as well. We first heard […]

While Waiting For The Bus
Just some randomness from the yard while waiting for Farm Girl to arrive home from school. Peace!
We Shall Return
With the holidays over you would think I could catch my breath. But unfortunately there was some unexpected dental work (broke a tooth eating yummy quail…youch!), and now a flu bug which has bitten. So give me a few days and I’ll be back to share our little adventures here on the farm. I ordered […]

Warm, cozy, crafty….Peace!
A Weekend Visitor
We had an unexpected guest at our house yesterday. Apparently he thought our free ranging chickens were an invite! I was sitting here at the desk and heard a chicken screaming – yes, they scream when in danger. I ran out there and up against the fence I saw what I thought to be a […]
