Sometimes you just want to set down to a pretty lunch. We eat a lot of sandwiches around here for lunch, often PBJ. But with the fresh food at the farmers market meals start to get prettier this time of year. Here’s an example. Pasta swirled with a dab of fresh pesto, topped with the…
Last night we had another Warm Showers visitor. Our guest’s name was Larry and for some reason I forgot to get a photo. If you’re not familiar with Warm Showers – it’s a bicyclist hosting community. If a touring bicyclist is going to be in your area he contacts you to see if he can…
The other day I needed to put leftovers in a casserole dish from the cupboard.I pulled several stacked ones out from the Asian cupboard that we use to house casserole dishes, kitchen linens, vases and extra glassware so I could get to one of the smallest dishes. I scooped the leftovers into the dish and…

In previous posts I’ve shown you a video of Cordero Farms and a link to Country Garden Farm, two of the Lost City Knits Oklahoma Fiber Partnership farms. A photo visit to those farms will be shared soon. Today Chris is shipping off two more boxes of clean raw fiber to the mill for me…
Here on the farm we’ve survived a few heavy storms and it seems that the sunny season has finally arrived. Chris has been harvesting the first bundles of lavender, while I’ve been busy in the studio making soap, washing fleeces and dyeing like a woman possessed. Late last week we picked up our food coop…
