Duendesday: Wood Imp
{life with a curious and crazy almost 11 yr old} On a perfect day you can usually find Duende up a tree! Most of our older apple trees are kooky with lots of crossing branches and good places to grip – she can get up into most of them (Ted still confounds her, his mid-sectionContinue reading “Duendesday: Wood Imp”
Tuesday Happenings
The pasta is made for this week’s specials: Gold Beet & Thyme Gnocchi, Red Beet Farfalle, and our house favorite – Classic Gnudi (cheesy little pillows of goodness).

Monday’s Musings
May ~ Christina Rossetti I cannot tell you how it was,But this I know: it came to passUpon a bright and sunny dayWhen May was young; ah, pleasant May!As yet the poppies were not bornBetween the blades of tender corn;The last egg had not hatched as yet,Nor any bird foregone its mate.

Spring can bring this feeling – there is an age old practice of ‘Spring Cleaning’ (though for all witches, all the celebratory times areContinue reading “Another Tuesday at Rock Bottom Homestead”

Tuesday Sunshine Happenings
There is a hustle and bustle in the air – even though Last Frost isn’t until the second week for us here in mid-Maine, we can tell that the attitude of the weather has changed. I should be getting my peas in (well, really I should have put them in a couple of weeks agoContinue reading “Tuesday Sunshine Happenings”
