A Medieval Princess and Middle Earth Ranger
October 2, 2009
I have a question for you. What is it about the middle ages and The Lord of the Rings type mythology that fascinates so many people? My children, like millions of others, are enthralled by anything remotely medieval. And I have to say, their interest has sparked my own. This ...
My mother makes Salsa Verde ~ Cooking and Preserving the Harvest

Is it really Fall? I'm too busy thinking to notice
September 22, 2009
I'm in disbelief that it's the first day of fall. Where did summer go? My mind and daily routine has been so focused on homechooling for the last couple weeks that I haven't been able to fully appreciate apple picking, fuzzy sweaters & socks, pots of soup, bugs and butterflies ...
