The “Bangles” wrote a song about this, “It’s Just Another Muffin Monday,” and so it was my theme song for the day. I’m baking a loaf of bread as well. Dan is playing music and entertaining us. Terry is on bear lookout watch today; she spotted a large cinnamon brown black bear coming up the […]

First day of fall – my favorite season! I was experimenting today with my bread recipes and made a batch of cinnamon pecan sticky buns. This morning Mishkin told Dan that he had cornered a mouse under the bag that we use to bring firewood into the house. Dan moved the bag and, oh joy, […]

This afternoon Terry was out for some attention and Mishkin was really wanting to come over to the couch and participate in the attention. But he knows he isn’t allowed to come that close to his sibling. He came as close as he dared, between the chair and the couch, and watched Terry getting her […]

A cool morning, 41F (5C), and the house is delightfully cool. There is only thing to do under such circumstances. We must start a fire in the cookstove to take the chill off the house. And then there is only one thing to do with a hot stove… cook breakfast. Yummmm. Water heating in […]

It has been raining here all day, wave after wave of storms rolling through, with sunshine breaks in between. The sunshine, when it was here, was delightful! I split a couple of wheelbarrows of firewood and stacked it in the rack on the front deck, just for exercise and so I wouldn’t have to move […]
