Monday’s Muse
Over hill, over dale,Thorough bush, thorough brier,Over park, over pale,Thorough flood, thorough fire,I do wander everywhere,Swifter than the moon’s sphere;And I serve the fairy queen,To dew her orbs upon the green.The cowslips tall her pensioners be:In their gold coats spots you see;Those be rubies, fairy favours,In those freckles live their savours:I must go seek someContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”
Duendesday: an artful life
{life with a curious and crazy 12 yr old} Creativity abound, this little peach wakes up with new worlds on her mind. She’s always making new outfits, new dance moves, new jokes and car games.

Tuesday on this Rock
What is going on at this homestead lately? We are lucky enough to have water (though technically in a drought, last nights rain thoroughly soaked everything, but we’re not matching anything like ‘parts of the Sahara’ or on fire) and the ability to grow plants and the wonderful access to clean water and even coolingContinue reading “Tuesday on this Rock”
Monday’s (new) 24th poet laureate Muse

Friday in Pictures: High on the Hill
{let the images tell you a story}
Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Yankee Muffuletta
Picture a young northern couple road tripping from Manchester, Vermont to New Orleans, Louisiana in a urine yellow ’74 Valiant (which cost us $350) that looked like tinfoil that had been scrunched up and then attempted to smooth out, with a big dog and lots of CD’s (with a playlist of Nirvana, Harry Connick, LyleContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Bread Book – Yankee Muffuletta”
Everyweek Tuesday Just Happens
Of all the things we do, building our skills in some direction is the point. Baking is about feeding ourselves and our people, but also about the nerdy scientific elements of structure and rising, and the political aspirations of building new economies based on local food sovereignty. Gardening and orcharding is also about food guildsContinue reading “Everyweek Tuesday Just Happens”
