“A road like brown ribbon, a sky that is blue, A forest of green, with the sky peeping through. Asters, deep purple, a grasshopper’s call. Today it is summer, tomorrow is fall.” –Edwina Falls

Happy Birthday, Christy!
Just a quick note to wish a dear friend a very happy birthday…. with my love,
1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake/ Mama’s Quicker Frosting
“Birthday season” is upon us. This is my absolute favorite birthday cake recipe! It’s pretty generic and can be adapted by adding nuts, or changing the flavoring just a bit. I love Paula Deen’s recipes anyway, but this is one of her best! 1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 3…

A day of rest…so nice after a long week!
Creating HOME- The Fall Wreath
I love a Martha Stewart wreath I recently came across. When I saw Nester’s version, I knew I had to try this project! I bought twisted paper from Hobby Lobby (you will need 4 for $1 a piece), and floral staples (we needed two packages for this project). We used a wreath we found in the house. Jessica stripped it…

Saturday Surprise…
A neighbor brought by quite a gift over the weekend:
Gentle Spirit
This is a repost from the site My Own Sense and Sensibility. Many thanks to Mindy for allowing me to share this on my site! This morning, as I was seeking the Lord in my quiet time, He placed before me a quote that so touched the heart of my current struggle. Her gentle mothering reveals to the world God’s…
September 10, 2010
It has been a long, long week. Paul was away for a full seven days, home for one and gone for another four. His work is quite busy sometimes, but we’re happy to have work. I know there are many out there without jobs right now. Our little homestead is changing with the seasons, I think. We’re preparing to build…
Christmas Club- Plastic Balls?
We are planning early for the holidays! Paul and I want to have all of our holiday purchases done by the end of October (a goal we’ve not reached for a few years now, but we’re trying again, LOL!) I thought it would be nice to host a Friday Christmas Club on the site…please feel free to join along. You…
The Recipe Box
I don’t generally like recipes that call for a cake mix…something about making a homemade recipe with a box mix just seems wrong, LOL. These were really good, and *very* easy! They would be great as a “holiday” cookie. Gooey Butter Cookies (From Keeping Good Company) 1/2c butter 1/4t vanilla 1 egg 1 (8oz) pkg. cream cheese 1 (1 lb.…
Celebrating the Sabbath
So glad it’s Sunday! How will you observe the day of rest?
