Bulk Canning
June 16, 2017 Bulk Canning Four hours of simmering marinara and the house smells like Italian spices! Oregano, sweet basil, flowery parsley, smooth garlic, marjoram, sage, thyme, onion, and rosemary flavors blend together with a yummy tomato base to make five gallons of nearly meatless red sauce (nearly, because we [...]
Cousin Train
June 15, 2017 Cousin Train Some days you just need to laugh! When cousins are over, that laughter is always bouncing off the walls. The big girls raced by each pushing a tomato box across the wooden floor. Mandy squealed from Jaquline’s box (“faster!”). Isaac peered up from behind his [...]
Hair Day
June 14, 2017 Hair Day Yesterday was a misty day with the sun desperately attempting to peek through, but the clouds kept winning. Louis decided it was time for a haircut. We usually cut hair outside so I trimmed his hair while Kimberly watched. Kimberly wanted to know how it [...]

It can be following an actual historical figure, about a historical figure, place, or event, or a made-up story in a real time in history. Writing historical fiction [...]
Florida Weather
June 7, 2017 Florida Weather Today was normal weather for northeast Florida. Meaning, when driving over the 312 bridge, we left a vicious thunderstorm and emerged under the sunny blue morning sky! On the way back 30 minutes later, to our left was pouring rain and to the right was [...]
The Real Egg Thief
June 6, 2017 The Real Egg Thief We had forty little chicks in the high brooder. It was back when our little 4-level brooder held three batches of monthly chicks in stages and by the time they were in the bottom level, they roamed the yard. (At 12 to 13 [...]
