Collards now rinsing cool bath in the sink. Soon to have a long, warm simmer in the crock pot.

Grow food. Eat well. Love life.

Colander of collards.

The green thumb is getting itchy. So we finished two projects this week. Soon it will be time to play in the dirt.

House-made Pomegranate Liqueur

For nearly two months, we have been waiting for the jewels of pomegranates to steep in a neutral alcohol and then for the infusion to cure with simple syrup.
Easy to do (other than the wait). We will definitely try with other fruits.

Tasty cocktails, anyone?

Herbs and blends from the Farm made for gifts this year.

Now we begin to spend the cold days and evenings reading books, articles and seed catalogs. Just a few weeks will pass before we start the first seeds indoors for the garden.
Are you considering a garden this year?

A short verse for the evening as we work on some projects...

"Oh, Christmas gifts,
Oh, Christmas gifts,
I hope your recipients love you..."
