Why do we do it?

The story goes like this. My grandfather was out in the fields on his tractor when a nasty midwestern thunderstorm moved a bit faster than he’d estimated.  Lightning struck.  He was knocked off of his tractor, and completely out of his shoes.  He was also struck temporarily blind.  The family dog, a collie named Tyke, [...]

One Wiley Weed

I don’t want to offend anyone in this politically correct period of history, but I am a hunter.   At any particular time of the year, you will find me looking for something to add to the freezer or the stock pot.  Thousands of years ago people moved with their food.   If the food migrated, the [...]

Wild Weedy Herbs

Spring is the perfect time for gathering wild herbs.  Dandelion, plantain, chickweed, and violets are just a few of the weedy wonders that come to mind at the moment.

Dandelion and violet flowers made beautiful and tasty jelly.  Violet syrup is another delicious treat that can be made from those pretty violet blossoms.  Violet flowers are lovely [...]

The Chicken Murders

Ok, picture this.  It’s a crisp, snowy, Pennsylvania morning, eight days before Christmas.  I am once again waiting for the crew who is installing hardwood in our second floor hallway—the crew who assured me that the job would take five days, and would be done by Dec. 1st, absolutely at the latest, they promise.  They [...]
