I love it when I accidentally find great things out! Just before one of our first frosts, I went out and picked a bunch of my ripe Tabasco peppers to make some Pepper Vinegar with. A cold, rainy spell was coming our way, and, of course, arthritis was pulling at me hard! I kept thinking […]

Fluoride . . . . . . I can’t believe they put this stuff in a pill and give it to our kids! Fluoride – a binary compound of fluorine with another element. It is a neurotoxic chemical that is cumulative. Over the past several years I have broken quite a few bones. Sometimes, only […]
. . . . . TWO FARMS ONE . . . . .: (DF) FIRST ATTEMPT AT MAKING CHEESE WITHOUT ANIMAL RENNET
I began making cheese several years ago. At the time, I was living off-grid and had a couple of good milk goats who were giving an abundance of milk, so I really needed a way to preserve the milk without refrigeration. My sister had tried her hand at cheese making and bought a fairly large […]

Yes, it is springtime, though the weather calls the calendar a liar. Fact is, whatever the weather is doing, the vernal equinox has passed making it officially springtime.

. . . . . TWO FARMS ONE . . . . .: (DF) TIME CHANGE, AUTOMATIC DEVICES AND OUR ABILITY TO THINK FOR OURSELVES.
From the title of this post, you may be thinking that I am about to get on a soap box. Actually, that is not my intention (though it may happen).

Yep, It's Saturday night in the Boonies!
Awwww…. The quiet of the country ….. NOT!!! Once upon a time, a long time ago, it was peaceful and quiet on Saturday nights out here in the Boonies. Anyone wanting to cause a rukus went into town where ‘the action was.’ Those that stayed at home, kicked back and relaxed to the simple sounds […]
