For Blondi






Blondi Blathers trickled me yesterday with her comment, so here you are: My refrigerator. I have a lot of magnets. Some artwork. 

I have a stone that my youngest granddaughter presented to me with great pride. She painted it herself.

The 'hagstone' (the rock with the hole in it) was found by my grandson.

They are kept in a crystal dish with my other interesting stones, arrowheads, a stone scraper/knife, fossils, pottery shards. 


I have an orange plastic spider on the bathroom window sill where my granddaughters left it.

That's enough real for the moment. 

Today I woke up at six am. I finally just got up. I peeled the rest of my apples from my niece's house and made apple sauce. Once that was on the stove, I chopped up 3 trays of onions and started dehydrating them. Once done, I whisked them through the food processor on pulse, just the tiniest bit to make dried minced onion. I am drying garlic to make garlic powder. This dehydrating thing has been such a very interesting thing to learn about. 

Taking a tip from Boud, I did a bit of creating. I made a little terrarium with mosses. That made me happy too. 

My sister and her husband came over. I finally won a game of scrabble. It's been a while. She brought beef tips and noodles for supper. I added a loaf of zucchini bread and apple sauce. Apple pie ala mode for dessert.

That is it really, unless you want to hear about the recycling taken in. Or scrubbing the bathroom. 

There you have it...another day in the life, but it was soul satisfying.

  2. Hmmm... possums? I'm remembering raccoons and squirrels on the Illinois roads.

  3. I got up this morning, made breakfast, washed dishes, peeled tomatoes, diced green peppers and onions and made more salsa. Two loads of laundry washed, dried and put away, straightened up bedroom, picked up toys in the living room. No one played scrabble with me but I am thinking of starting a jigsaw puzzle tomorrow.

  4. You prepare a lot of food. It's better than store bought stuff.

I'm glad you're here!
