They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
We had an unexpected Man Work Monday this week. We had to take Mr. Seppi to the doctor on Monday (he put a rock in his ear on Sunday, and neither Daddy at home nor the doctor at the ER could get it out), but the truck was in the shop, and Mommy could not… Continue reading Man Work Monday
The very first thing we made with our home-grown, home-milled wheat flour. Added water (and nothing else) to make a batter of a soupy consistency. Dropped on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Math. Still needs to get done. One of the things we needed to set… Continue reading Clearing the legumes
