seven soules (and the chicken doesn't count), on solstice eve
Though I may pop on for a quick hello, I am for the most part planning on being away from the computer this week (returning fully in this space on Monday), as we celebrate the coming days of Solstice and Christmas. We're so excited about the full moon coming, not to mention the lunar eclipse, ...

I love co housing, how it brings people together. So different from my neighborhood's HOA which has people competing for the greenest perfectly mowed lawn. My husband served on the board trying to build a sense of community, unfortunately the idea scares some of our neighbors...

at the fair
It really just isn't autumn in our family without The Fair. And really, is it September on SouleMama without documenting The Fair? Exactly. Which is why - 24 hours before the moving truck arrived - we decided that we just had to go. Even for a quick visit, even we couldn't do all that we usually...

You are fantastic! Does your milk boil heating it to 180? I have tried to get my milk to that temp but it boils right on over the big pan, the even bigger pan and I am out of pans. I have to stop at 160, maybe it is an elevation thing. Have a great day!

Beautiful photos, I love playing and creating in the kitchen. This week my daughter harvested the rhubarb and we made syrup together for the yummy soda treat. After she picks it the huge leaves become hats for her to wear.
Sadly it has been too hot to bake bread, I bought our first store loaf probably since last summer... Enjoy your day!
