A Simple Way to

I am so excited that I can make my own yogurt!! It was so simple to do. I found the instructions at this link: {What I Made Today}. I used a small cooler. That is what I had. It doesn't have a tight seal so I wrapped it also in a couple of towels and also used her instructions for wrapping the jar in towels.

Akira Kurosawa Dreams

My favorite dream in the movie is, The Water Wheels dream. I like a few others and the ending scene of the first dream you see here on the cover. Some of it is slow and some a little scary in parts but all of them make you stop and think about the earth and how it effects all of us and all living things by the way it is treated.

They cooked it in a pot or made it into cakes. And it tasted like something made with olive oil. 9 When the dew settled on the camp at night, the manna also came down. ~Numbers 11:7-9

Someone told me that Popped Popcorn use to be eaten as a cereal in wagon train days. Has anyone heard of this? It does taste pretty good.

Paint Outside the Box

There are a few touch ups that need to be attended to, before a coat of varnish of some sort is put on. I'll either add a ribbon for the handle or use the original one. Link: {Ban Box}.

Possum Living & Food Matters

Blog & Book:{Possum Living} & Movie:{FOODMATTERS}

Ring of Bright Water

I really enjoyed this movie a lot. I loved listening to the man who drove the bus speak in his Scottish broque voice. Some of the looks on peoples faces on the bus cracked me up. And their change in attitude was so funny, from one scene to the next about the otter while on the bus. The children changed their attitude.

Anne with an E

A couple favorite movies I enjoy a lot. Ann of Green Gables and Ann of Green Gables the Sequel. Ann of Green Gables the Sequel is also titled Ann of Anvonlea.

Bedstraw, Catchweed, Cleavers

I've been reading about cleavers in the book called, Stop Colds And Flu The Natural Way by Nancy Pauling Bruning. It is so exciting to learn about weeds and their benefits. "Green is the fresh emblem of well founded hopes. In blue the spirit can wander, but in green it can rest."- Mary Webb. {Green Onions}

May Blossoms

Is this a {Hawthron} bush/tree? Is anyone familiar with this bush or tree? The fair maid who, the first of May, Goes to the fields at break of day, And washes in dew from the hawthorn tree, Will ever after handsome be. ~ Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme. {Bedstraw}
