I don’t remember who I was talking with, but someone was interested in my scone recipe. I make these frequently. They’re a nice treat, and not too many carbs. I can’t eat eggs, so that’s why they’re vegan. And these turn out really well. Enjoy! Paleo Keto Scones Dry ingredients 2 cups + 2 Tbs […]

Intellectually, I knew that this second lockdown was coming, just in time for the holidays. The news of it still hit me hard. NOTE: I am well aware that I am playing “Apocalypse 2020” on one of the easiest settings possible. There are a few easier settings, but really, I’m lucky. One of the ways
Starting on Monday, I’m going to be doing a writing marathon. I’ve done several of these, general about two per year. My goal for a writing marathon is always 10K words per day, as well as 10K steps per day. The biggest difference is that I’m doing this from home this time. And this concerns

Back in February, I stopped drinking caffeine habitually.(As this is 2020, it feels like years ago, now.) I kind of fell into it by accident. Once I realized I’d stopped, I made the choice to keep at it. It was a really smart decision on my part. There are so many things I already must
I figure it’s been a while since I did one of these. I walked around the property the last few days taking pictures of what’s growing. I am posting some of them here. I should take a few more pictures, in particular, the pear trees and a more up to date picture of the grapes.
On the south-east side of the main house, we grow mint. We understand that it’s invasive. That’s okay. It gets that whole section of the yard to take over. The mint’s primary job is to repel bugs and critters which is why we grow it next to the house. Don’t know if it actually works.
As y’all may or may not recall, I tend not to take anything for my headaches or migraines. Particularly since it turned out that my prescription migraine medication was what was causing all my migraines in the first place. In addition, I’d been fairly reliant on aspirin. I had weaned myself off of that when
