Spring break is over!! Mary and Maddy went home on a train yesterday. I miss them already! But the school bus came today and my kids went to school! Woo hoo!!!! Back to writing……….

Isn’t Maddy the cutest thing ever??? :heart:

(I’ll be posting more spring break pictures all week here–and watch the photoblog for cool pictures, too. AND–I’ll be posting our adventure cooking the West Virginia delicacy, ramps. Anyone know what ramps are? Come back and see what Mary did with ramps!! She made gourmet ramps!!)

    Thank goodness for Google!

    Ramps are some type of salad fixin’, looking by the pictures.

    For gourmet, mix with arugula and mushrooms, toss with a raspberry vinagarette.

    Maddy sure is cute.

    What I’d really love right now is that bouquet of wildfloweres she’s holding in the crook of her arm. At least I think they’re mostly wildflowers.

    I love wildflowers more than cultivated ones. I have a huge bouquet that my great-uncle painted and sent to me from Germany when I was about 19. I had to tussle my brother and sister-in-law to get it back after I was in Germany for the 1970′s. I think I finally got it back about 15 years ago. I really must get it up on one of the odd walls here.

    Hope you had a good day without the kids.:grin:

    I just looked up ramps too. Apparently they can be found here in Ontario, too, though maybe a little later than WV. I’d certainly love them. I love leeks–I know, not very politically correct–as well as garlic, whose Latin name is just a longer form of the French word “ail”. Hmm, love that too.

    I should maybe send my sister out into their woods on the farm to see if they can find some.

    Do you know fiddleheads? Also a great delicacy. :heart: Only they don’t grow wild here if at all.

The Slanted Little House

"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....
