The dill in the above photo has now been harvested and hung to dry in my dining area. I love both the scent and flavor of dill and use it frequently to perk up a salad or egg dish. Some of my dill harvest was used for making dill pickles, and now that the weather is [...]

You guys! Skillet Jam!
September 2nd, 2010 
Karly I have some really, really good news to share. After discovering this magical new concept, I thought maybe everyone else already knew about it, and only I didn’t because I’m a newbie canner. But I talked to several people who can regularly and they didn’t know, so here we go. Earlier this week, I was looking [...]

3 Comments »Herbal Crafting for Stress Relief
August 20th, 2010 Catherine Sorry I’ve been MIA lately, life has been rather hectic for the Love family! Lots of changes going on, some good, some not so good, all stressful.
Thankfully, I always have several herbs on hand to help with handling the stresses of life. There are many, many herbs that are said to be stress-relievers, but today [...]
Abundance.
August 19th, 2010 Karly We have been home from Africa for three weeks now. It feels like months. Except that I’m still so tired. I’m willing to admit that tiredness may have something to do with the addition of our six-month-old baby girl to our family. (Maybe?) Here we are after 30 ½ hours of travel with our gorgeous [...]
Mixed Greens with Grilled Eggplant and a Balsamic Reduction
August 15th, 2010 Julie Have I mentioned how hot it is here? Well, it is! Unbearably hot. Too hot to go outside hot! And I’m no wimp! Because of the heat the garden has seen WAY better days. Pretty much the only thing left surviving is the tomatoes, hot peppers, a few herbs and surprisingly my eggplant plants! I have [...]
Oops, Too Busy Playing…
August 7th, 2010 Darcey Hello all you renegade farmers! It’s been awhile. (I’ve secretly been having an affair with my new camera!)
I’ve missed the last few Saturday’s around here…I know, shame on me! I’ve just been so gosh darn busy! So busy I haven’t had time to think about what to write let alone actually write. So for today, I think I’ll [...]
Thinking outside the box…err…jar.
August 3rd, 2010 Maggie Let me be the first to admit: I am NOT a good vegetable gardener. I do not try to be, nor pretend otherwise. I wish I was..and maybe someday I will be. But for now, I tend to rely on the kindness of others, the goods wildcrafted from the land around me, and the bounty [...]
Beating the Heat on the Farm
August 1st, 2010 Julie It’s HOT! We have had temps hovering just over 100 for about a week and heat index temps mostly in the low 100’s but as high as 120 over the last two weeks. We get up early to do our chores, we’ve been staying inside more during the afternoon, and we’ve been enjoying the pool [...]
Good Food
July 25th, 2010 Julie Somehow, last Sunday passed by and I completely forgot about posting! This Sunday (My Birthday!) is nearly over and I have FINALLY remembered about this weeks post. My mind has just been other places lately! Not to mention the excessive heat (over 105 yesterday) is probably killing brain cells! I have some good food recipes [...]
Hometown 4th of July
July 17th, 2010 Darcey I know it’s a few weeks since the 4th…I thought I’d share some images with you from the parade in Sharon, WI just for fun, anyway! I spent the entire day snapping pictures with my new camera…let’s just say I’ve never had this many images of the 4th of July EVER!
Of course there was a [...]
