September has proven to be a very challenging month mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Today a cow died, bloated stomach. She had a bull calf with her who spent the better part of the afternoon at her side. We herded the calf out of the field with the hope he will reunite with the remaining four […]
A little sweetness and spice makes things very, very nice. I’ve never thought about combining honey, red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper before. I especially never considered this combination for a pizza sauce. I will admit, making pizza was quite the challenge in the beginning. An oven is still an elusive convenience for my kitchen; […]

Walks are important for us. We fondly refer to them as solvitur ambulando (Latin). I never know what we will encounter as we are out and about. Sometimes, it is the remains of a carcass, typically a deer. Other times, a surprise waterfall or blooming plant. Sometimes, no visual sightings but a feeling of peace and serenity. […]
God has blessed us with blue skies and sun today. We can hear the cows lowing in the fields; such a soothing sound. The weather has been very crazy here; rain, rain and more rain! I do believe we have had the entire year’s rainfall in a matter of six weeks. It has rained so […]
