I’ve been freezing, dehydrating, and canning. Non-stop. NON-STOP. Yesterday, it was apples all day. Today, it’s eggplant, tomatoes, peaches, nectarines, blackberries, peppers, cucumbers, and more more more apples. And probably even more stuff that I can’t even remember till I find it! I have boxes and buckets and boxes and buckets. All free, from our friends at the farmers market. This will go on for the next few weeks–then it will all be gone. Make hay while the sun shines.

I deal with the food all day long. Peeling, chopping, blanching, dehydrating, freezing. I run the pressure canner in the evening for the tomatoes.

But….. One of these things is not like the other.

In this picture, what doesn’t belong?

All six ducks in a row! Mr. Duck has relaxed his ban on allowing his girls to consort with the three bachelors lately and they’ve been hanging out together. As long as they don’t touch his ladies, he lets them breathe in their vicinity.

The chicken in the picture is out of line, of course. Chickens don’t know how to walk in a row right.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
