Not much changes in a mere week around here – snail changes. The blackberries might have one more dedicated pick in them, juniper berries are ripening (we found a cute little patch in the back), our apples are few this year but tell us it is time to go ‘country apple picking’ (finding random appleContinue reading “Rock Bottom Happenings”

Monday’s Musing
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat toContinue reading “Monday’s Musing”
Recipe Thursday: Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemons and Olives
This week’s recipe is by request. I like to have a variety of types of dishes in this blog so I had been putting this one off until we got a little more going on but not only did we make this just the other day but then, like I said, it was requested. IContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemons and Olives”
Tuesday Happenings
Our lazy lollygagging ways soon catch up with us – the hurricanes have turned our weather quickly toward Fall and with it a sense of urgency (it’s not too urgent, don’t think we are running around like crazy – that’s just not us – ha!). The meatbirds have less than 2 weeks to grace usContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”
Monday’s Muse
I was thinking this morning of art that has really struck me – not monumental art like Picasso’s Guernica or Botticelli’s La Primavera (which have certainly struck me and are amazing) but something a little more accessible. I remembered (Josh doesn’t, even though I remember him being moved, too) an art show we went toContinue reading “Monday’s Muse”
Duendesday
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} The agenda of a free 10-yr-old is certainly something to admire and emulate. She wakes up when her body tells her (anywhere between 7 and 9), feeds the pets, and forages for food – sometimes something sensible like cereal or toast, sometimes something ridiculous if itContinue reading “Duendesday”
Tuesday 2 Do’s
We visited a local (and gracious) farm last week to pick up the last of their basil to make pesto for you, and the farmer was lamenting August. So much work to do, so little time. Time to harvest, time to finalize projects before Winter, time to get it all done. And we feel thatContinue reading “Tuesday 2 Do’s”

Thursday Recipe: Stuffed Grilled Squid & Tomato/Watermelon Salad
I love a challenge – and a feast; those two elements together charged with sharing something so lovely with friends is a complete gift. It’s actually been awhile since we made these Stuffed Squid but I wanted to get a recipe down as I’ve been wanting to try them again- Squid or Calamari, doesn’t matterContinue reading “Thursday Recipe: Stuffed Grilled Squid & Tomato/Watermelon Salad”
Duendesday is for the Cows
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Cabot Cheese is having an online drawing contest (juried by the children on the farm) which all sounds like good fun – cows abound! The rules are pretty simple; cows, original artwork, kids 4-17. There are no prizes listed (I’m imagining it is for the funContinue reading “Duendesday is for the Cows”
