(we are reading the spiderwick chronicles, he is so in love with these stories. i don't know if he grabbed them because they are his cousi... read more

i am supposed to be making our dinner, peas and paneer- got to do it early so the flavors can meld... get the two year old fed while the baby sleeps,and then the two year old goes to sleep and (of course) the baby wakes, and has to be held. this is not a bad thing--i'll get to dinner, i hope, soon---it is just SLOW---holding her, looking out the window...nice, but boring at times. this morning i was supposed to go get the car inspected. it takes me... read more

about me
we have a small medicinal herb farm, we are striving for independence from american culture...i am a mother above all else, to three beautiful creatures. i love the feeling of being curled around a nursing baby, it has to be my favorite morning past time. i love books, with so many plants, babies and animals though, reading has come last. i still have the herb and cook books and the children's library has gotten extensive! this makes up for it.....mostly
i love to create....gardens, clothing and anything with yarn. my life is simple, i would have it no other way. we grow, can,dry and freeze our food. i can't wait to see rows and rows of flowers. this *should* be our most productive year and it is very exciting. we have been here three years, before this our gardens were on the porch of an apartment...we had everything from basil and broccoli to leeks and tomatoes...it was cool...may find time to post pics...then we were in a house in the middle of town and our gardens were in cinderblocks along the street...it has been fun getting to where we are now.. i really don't like society and wish we could just BE- one day i hope the opportunity will find us.... laundry and time are my biggest enemies my husband my best friend my family is funny, but loving - his has helped us so much..... spring is coming soon and my step will lighten, though the winter rest was good...
