  I am a scrapbooking junkie. I admit it! One of my favorite things to do is to put together albums of photographs of my life. This is an activity that when done feels like time stops. I don’t look at the clock, and before I know it, the entire day has passed in contentment,…

Nature. It is what it is. I have to apologize if you think this blog is about the physical or biological building blocks of our natural world. It is not. It is, however, about what we can learn from nature. As scientific and rational human beings in the twenty-first century, there is a lot we…

Two Life Lessons I Learned From My Front Yard Rocks

I like to work in my yard. I love to clear the path for the new growth that occurs every spring by cleaning out the dead leaves and debris. This season is no different. But, this time, while in the midst of the crumbled leaves, the dead pine needles, and even the blown-in pieces of…

I made a vegan quiche today: vegan meat crumbles at bottom with #justinc egg, onions, spinach, vegan mozzarella, mushrooms, and spices in a pie shell.
Dear Ruth, I Jumped Off the Pedestal Because of You
Lots of labor for Peter and I on this lovely Labor Day. We are harvesting what we could from the garden before the snow hits tomorrow. We decided to harvest some and cover the rest. Here is some of what we have. We will be freezing lots of it today. Anyone want any sunflowers?! I've never had so many beautiful sunflowers in my house at once!
We treated ourselves to a big breakfast this morning because... Why not?! Fruit salad, hash browns, pancakes, #JustEgg, #LightLifeBacon, and coffee from #OwlsNest in Franktown. #allveganeverything, #allcrueltyfree
Today's harvest. Happy Sat to everyone!
I was craving Mexican stew today! #allveganeverything
