Pickles, vinegar, and crazy
It’s the middle of the night and I’m nursing Tuesday. All I can smell is hot vinegar and pickling spices. The kitchen is a wreck and the dinning room table is full of jars. We might have gotten in over our heads a tiny little bit.
“Why are you making so many pickles?”

Thereby forcing …

If I could pull this off I would
I love my newest finished knit for Tutu. I brought it as vacation knitting to Alaska and it was just the perfect thing, so easy. Also I got extra knitting time spending time in a car. And since it is still light enough to knit at eleven o'clock at night there that helped a lot! …
Tasty
Wow, thanks for all the great links and comments. I wish I had more time to explore them this season, but I will have to save some for next season. When I woke up this morning half of the plums I had cleaned were already splitting in their over ripe state. I panicked and went …
