Crochet a Spring Bird’s Nest

Suzanne McMinn — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:05:44 +0000

When I was out and about the other day on a rare shopping excursion, I saw this cute little bird’s nest. The nest and eggs were knitted. I thought, I could make that! But I’m not good enough at knitting to make up directions. I can barely follow professional knitting directions. [...]

In Search of Strawberry Cake

Suzanne McMinn — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 06:05:46 +0000

I had a request recently for a strawberry cake recipe. I’ve never made strawberry cake (except from a box, a long time ago), so I went on the hunt for a good one. The logical place to start was with my Treasure Trove book. Those ladies from the 1940s could make anything. [...]

She’s Still Got It

Jack’s supervising. Or something. I love the evenings. I go down to the meadow and hold the babies while the sheep get their feed. The mamas forget they have babies when feed is involved. I snuggle the babies and keep them out of the fray. I tell them I will give [...]

Jars of strawberry syrup and strawberry-lemon marmalade cooling after coming out of the canner. Check out how I made my strawberry-lemon marmalade here.

Somebody tell her that’s not gonna work? So, on Saturday, Clover went into full-blown, desperate, tearing-her-clothes-off lust. She was singing Lookin’ for a Good Time by Lady Antebellum, throwing back whiskey shots, making I’m-dying noises in her throat, and flapping her tail at Eclipse through the fence.

Totally Qualified to be a Farmer

Rain…. ….flood…. ….mud. We have…. ….three girls…. …..and a lil stud! I told 52 I couldn’t tell the difference. “I can’t tell. I can’t tell!” I inspected both of Jester’s babies and they looked the same. He had inspected Miss Jacob’s lambs and declared them to be one boy, one girl. So he showed me one [...]
