This veggie casserole falls into comfort food category. Yummy, creamy, buttery cracker crumb topping… PrintGreen-Bean Corn Casserole Ingredients4 cups […]
Together {Five-Minute Friday}
I hop over to Lisa-Jo’s blog to see what the writing prompt for Five-Minute Friday is. TOGETHER. When we’re together. Those are the first words to pop into my mind. I’m thinking, thinking, what song? what song? Thanks to internet and search engines, my fingers quickly type in the words and look it up and […]
A Peek at Idaho
Here’s a peek at Renae’s Idaho trip. She took a camera, but she was too busy most of the time to take a lot of pictures. It’s fun to have pictures, but it can be hard to remember to take them and sometimes dragging a camera around with you is somewhat a pain. She […]
Beautiful Milo
I love how the fields of milo look in the late, late summer, turning into fall and then it is autumn with cool mornings and evenings. Milo is itchy stuff to cut and getting it cut can drag out towards the end of the year, but I think the ripening heads are so beautiful! If […]
In Which We Make a Super-Size Butterhorn
My son has been asking for butterhorns. Our weather cooled off and the chill always makes it sound fun to bake and have the warmth of the oven and the yummy, homey smells of the said baking. We had a rainy, gray Monday, so we stirred up butterhorn dough and set it to raise. My […]

Pumpkin Pie
It’s that time of year! Pumpkins and apples and cute little gourds and squash and Indian corn and tiny pumpkins.

Laundry {Five Minute Friday}
Just the word can evoke a groan. But why? Burying my nose in clean laundry and breathing deeply. And the cozy softness when it’s fresh from the dryer. Or the outdoorsiness of laundry dried on the clothesline. Clean clothes are a gift. Owning clothes is a gift. Using a washing machine instead of a scrub […]

Of Laundry Room and Rearranging

And apple recipes and pumpkin recipes and fresh bread and cider……… And since my sister-in-law shared her abundance of tomatoes from her garden with me, I am happy to have home canned tomato juice in my pantry once again. I […]
Ordinary {Five Minute Friday}
Linking up with Lisa-Jo for Five-Minute Friday If someone asked me to describe my life in one word, I suppose there’s a chance I might say ordinary. I’ve said before here on my blog that we just do a lot of ordinary living. Yet, there are so many things I embrace about ordinary. So many […]
In Which There Is Wheat Drilling
The warm, earthy smell of the freshly worked dirt. The feel of the wheat, a heavy handful, slipping through my fingers in a mesmerizing trickle. The creak and jangle of the drill. The clanking of the press wheels. The slam of the drill lids, filled again. Work boot prints in the dirt from my farmer. […]
Walking in the Hard Places
In the last several years there have been good events and blessings flow through my life and there have been some very hard, I-never-expected this things that have happened. Things that hurt and leave me feeling vulnerable. Things that bring tears and make my heart break for others. Places I never would’ve chosen to walk […]
