- WordPress…. December 26, 2018It’s been a while WordPress. There were some significant life changes in the past few years. I quit a job I loved, then became political and then didn’t hate, but really had a hard time with, due to those same … Continue reading →catfeet1
- Garlic. July 18, 2016I love garlic. Every meal should start with an onion/garlic fry, or a raw mash of straight garlic, in my opinion. There is very little that I love, dinner-wise, which does not. So, in pursuit of that, I’ve been growing … Continue reading →catfeet1

- How to make Horseradish and Horseradish Sauce April 25, 2016Several years ago, I bought some fancy horseradish and put it in the ground, full expecting it to go wild and thrive. Well, I put it under the Butternut tree, which produces juglone into the ground around it. This makes … Continue reading →catfeet1
- It’s been a while, WordPress! April 25, 2016I’ve been busy, and thus neglected this blog. In 2014, we became the property managers for 34 rental units in our town and surrounding area. Many of them have required extensive renovation to come up to speed with our standards, … Continue reading →catfeet1
- Potato harvest 2015 October 16, 2015I’ve not been posting due to overwhelming harvesting and putting up! A chance to breathe finally came today, and my chickadee and I put up all of the potatoes after they cured on our porch for a week and a … Continue reading →catfeet1
