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.
Monday is the day we bake bread, most weeks. We try to get it done as early as possible in the morning, so that we can have fresh bread for lunch. Since Seppi still doesn't have very much school this year, and Winnie has no school at all (except for coloring "pretty pictures") they usually… Continue reading Monday, Bread Day.
Sorry about the long silence for the last two weeks. We went right from a National Guard weekend into a vacation, and both of those take some recovering from. So even though we were back at the farm on Monday, we didn't actually get any farming done other than the chores, because we had food… Continue reading We’re Back! And Fresh Ground Flour

No truck, no farm work, we can’t go Anywhere all day long. Thank God.
The thermometer in the shop where we were keeping the pumpkins, squash and onions read 30 degrees after the propane stove failed. While the pumpkins and squash might be salvagable, the onions are almost certainly lost. As soon as they thaw they are going to turn into a nasty slimy mess. I suppose then we… Continue reading Preserving the Pumpkins
Last week we went "Shopping" in the shop, and Seppi picked out a nice, Seppi-sized pumpkin, because he wanted to make Pumpkin Muffins. Monday morning, bright and early, he brought his pumpkin upstairs from the garage, to make pumpkin something. Right now. He seemed oblivious to the fact that one does not simply cut the… Continue reading I want pumpkin something… Now!
Honey Whole wheat garlic bread, last of the rolls, and what’s left of our squash spice muffins.
