So we processed a half bushel of apples the other day and as a space saving measure set a crock pot cooking apple butter on a counter upstairs. You see my kitchen is an add on to the house, and upstairs is a former kitchen from the old duplex days. The roof of the real kitchen is just outside...

After spending an evening explaining the difference between cashmere and mohair, and how much less expensive it is to buy a fleece than it is to buy an equivalent weight of wool yarn (wool prices are truly dreadful in the US), it is no wonder that I woke up this morning with this stuck in my...

We didn't get as slammed as they did further north. We've gotten two or three feet, seriously, there is about 3 feet in our yard, but the house down on the corner only got two. Our lad has had school snow days all week. He went to school on Monday, but since his school is in a town 30 miles...
