bbbrrrrrrrrr

"Thursday: Patchy frost before 8am."


I would be willing to say that it's likely to snow in the next month. And keep snowing until next June.

Have had a sweatshirt on all day and wearing shoes and socks. That, alone, should be an indication that it ain't summer no more, eh?

We have 10 cord of wood ready and can get more if we need it. Will be so happy later in the year for that.

Will also be so happy to have spent the time and energy on the canning and freezing. Should have over 100 quarts of maters by the time all of it is done. Just wish I had a chance to get beans and more corn. rats.

It might be a bad winter but we are doing what we can to get ready.

I am also thinking about investing in a fancy-schmancy water purifier that I would have to have imported from England. Isn't cheap, by any means, but will clean river water of chemicals, dirt and other nasty stuff.

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
