Where has the time gone.....

We will be back up and swinging shortly..........Life has been a busy one this past year, with many projects and the last of high school for one young lady......

Goodness Gracious!~!

Do I have a reasonable excuse(s) for the 4 month void? Life, kids, vacation fun, and spring/summer all mixed up in one!

Here it is almost August, and I am in hopes of more postings as our new season of activities and yummy harvest and homesteading takes shape!

Starting out fresh with a few random shots of our summer thus far and
see where life takes us!



We created a more functional kitchen for all the feasts and delights! Rob came up with a desire of a Julia Child's platform, and we tweaked it a little bit..






Blackberry cobbler from our
---------- patch...........








Posting vacation pics tomorrow............

Food Delights and hyped up cats

Ah, more fun to be had..........I splurged on a heavier watt blender, so to help make some yummy healthy smoothies for the family.......

Playing with our food again:

rice, black bean, corn, salsa, guacamole and cheese on a wheat tortilla ......yum!



Here is the beginning stage of a sourdough starter I've been wanting to do forever!

Starting to collect good healthy alternatives to our cooking........looking forward to lots of yummy ideas:














Lastly, One of the cats thought it would be fun to find a bag with something special in it while we were asleep:
So, what does one do when they find such a treat????? They must share~!!~
