Fall has arrived
Normally we have warm weather near until winter and many times into mid January. This year hurricane Ian must have pushed milder weather into Alabama. I have to say it is a wonderful relief from the near no rain, humid high 90s we have endured this summer. There have been fall like blustery winds and…

Because I can!
It is very rare that I splurge on a sweet treat. I’m not a person that likes extremely sweet anyway. One of my goto treats is usually a couple squares of very dark chocolate. But there is a treat I love because I live in the south and there are days a person just needs…

Okra… the food that keeps on giving
I bought another 10 pounds of fresh picked okra this morning. I spent a couple hours canning half of it and placed the other half in the fridge. We love okra pretty much any way we can get it and I probably will be putting more in the freezer before this season is over. It…

Long ago talents renewed
I’ve developed a routine the last couple weeks of sitting daily to sketch something. I used to draw in the early 90’s to keep me busy while students worked on their assignments in a high school art class I often substitute taught.

Organization is my Thing!
So I have always admitted I have strong OCD tenancies. I’m not OCD but yes the tendencies are there. That is not really a bad thing. I am comfortable with people that don’t have these tendencies and have no issues at all with my clutter loving friends. Just in my own house I need organized…

Been a busy day here at the home on the mountain. I’m not one to sit still for long and always need a current protect or two. Well, today I managed several. First chore right out of bed this morning was harvesting the morning crop of figs. Once I got inside and cleaned the full…

As Promised
I’ve eluded to a large knit project CT in working on in a few of my previous posts. I completed weaving in the final yarn tail earlier today. So I’m ready to show it now. I’ve been in a perpetual learning stage of teaching myself to knit for about 4 years or so now. I…

Ready or not here they come!
I knew it would be soon. I’ve been monitoring every couple days. Today was a rare moment of ME time while hubby was gone to physical therapy. We are back into our normal north east Alabama summer weather thank goodness. The horrid horrid intense humidity and heat seem to have left the area. So I…

A Necessary Rant
I just have to discuss this issue that seems to be growing. I honestly will never understand the need of people to leave a mark…… an unnecessary damaging mark on nature. The words Group think comes to mind….. you know those people that tend to do whatever the others do without rhyme or reason? I…

Another Hot Day….
….in the deep south. This type of extreme hot and humid, which actually is NOT normal for the area, much less the whole country….. doesn’t lean to much of an appetite with forced reduction in physical activity caused by the energy being sucked right out of a body. But, we still need to eat and…
