What an amazing week!
In the slow cooker on Monday, I made a 3 bean chili with quinoa, enough to freeze for more meals!

This week, in my kitchen, I have... :: watched the empty mason jars pile up before my eyes. :: enjoyed, and then mourned the end of most of the preserved tomato goods, save for the all-important ketchup and salsa (thank goodness). :: cooked up a family favorite - smoky cor...
There is always something special about that first snow!
Glad that Mama declared a snow day!

autumn into winter
So it wasn't exactly the Nor'easter some were talking about coming in these parts, but we did wake up to snow. Not just any snow, but the First Snow! And because I'm the Mama, and Mama's get to do such things as this, I declared today an official Snow Day. Home from our regularly sche...
Not my holiday of choice either, but in some ways, it is great that a fun event for children can be celebrated.
Like your pumpkins all in a row.
My favourite Hallowe'en song/rhyme is "5 Little Pumpkins"!
Enjoy!

In the mild and quiet post-storm weather, with a little bit of drizzle coming down, we carved our pumpkins yesterday. My garden produced enough squash for us to eat for a good while now, but no carving pumpkins this year. So these are all happily procured from a farm ...
Enjoy the peace and the pace of the woods!

heading out
A little bit tired from all we've done, but even more inspired by all we've seen and heard, we wrap up this year's Common Ground fair. Now this morning, we embark on another journey deep into the woods for rest, play, and more adventure. Away from power lines and any kind of reception, I'll b...
Sweet!
When my children were growing up, I kept many of their little notes and drawings, often tucked into a favourite book. Now, when I look for a reread, I am pleasantly surprised by these little gems. Some, I have scanned to share with the author--they are delighted to know that I kept these little treasures!:)

August songs...
August is singing in harmonic beginnings, interesting minor chords and family gatherings. My shining son is on a solo first drive date in Grandpa's 1996 Lincoln Towncar (a mere year younger than said son) and I am practicing "BEing not nervous" or, better said, BEing calm and waiting up. I...
What a great setting! Beautiful garden--this place seems to have a lot of heart!:)

Learning and Living at Koviashuvik
Last week, we had the pleasure of inaugurating the Family Sustainability Stay - a new offering from Chris and Ashirah Knapp at Koviashuvik Local Living School in Temple, Maine. A kind of living and learning retreat, the program offers families a hands-on and fully-immersed experience on th...

What a great description of a major life change!
Sometimes, I wondered how families cope with the absences.
Enjoy the chocolates!

My Intern with Benefits...
HOLY CRAZINESS!!! The honeymoon is over - reality has now set in - he's home. I love him, just from afar! No, seriously, it's just a big adjustment. I've had control over every aspect of the house and kids for the past 8 months and now it feels as if it's all unravelling before my eyes. He's...
