Recent project finished for my daughter in remembrance of her Confirmation. Her Patron, St Margaret of Castello. This is made with a combination of vintage items, dried flowers from my farm, and an antique frame. I wanted something beautiful for her, and something that would be long appreciated.

Something that needs to be taken into account when deciding how to landscape and decorate the farm is the terrain. We have a very dry and rocky terrain, and so it makes sense to use that to our advantage! above credit For about the first year or two of living here, I was confounded. I had lived in the Bay Area for the majority of my life and so I was used to that terrain and environment....

It's been on my mind a lot lately to use as much as can be reasonably used from the farm and property to make products to support this venture. Anyone that owns a home or farm will know that the projects are never ending, and the lists of things to be fixed or made seems to get longer everyday. But I also firmly believe that God wouldn't have put us here if thriving were not a possibility....

Egg check. Day 5.🐣 Heart is beating and you can see some wiggling going on.
Want to come along on a daily egg check, to watch the baby grow?
I'll post a check-in on this particular egg in my stories, so you can observe the growth with me.

My quail delivered on the eggs! I'm pickling some of these tiny morsels. It feels like such a treat-- one bite-sized sweet/spicy/salty treat. I imagine that these would be great as a housewarming gift or for the holidays 😋

My little apothecary has grown over the years, with herbal medicine thaf I both grown and foraged. One goal I have is to build a medicinal garden like Hildegard had. I recall reading about how she had many gardens and this was common among religious communities. They'd have different gardens for different purposes. A meditation and prayer garden, a herbal and medicinal garden,a kitchen garden, etc. No doubt I have the room, and now the task is to plot out and plan. One little plant at a time!

Propagation going on these days. I am a little crazy with plants...as in, I have a lot. And it occurred to me the other day, "Why am I not making MORE?! And maybe selling them!" So here we go! African violets are getting some attention this morning!

Advent is upon us. How are you preparing for what's ahead?
Not all preparations have to be extravagant. Simple, and thoughtful, steps toward the end goal are a perfect start.
