I love words, yarn, animals, food, and Jesus. Not necessarily in that order.
The kernels of strawberry popcorn are super sharp. Pulling the kernels off the cobs shredded my hands, but I’m super excited about how much we got. There’s something so satisfying about growing things yourself.

We have grown other varieties of popcorn before and had no success with the kernels actually popping. It worked this time! So excited!

This is how many kernels I’ve pulled off of four of the strawberry popcorn ears we grew this year. Only 26 ears of corn to go… #gardening

My geranium never got the memo that the season is over. We’ve had a few hard freezes, and she hasn’t given up hope.

I’ve heard it said the only constant in life is change. I choose to believe that, while we can’t control everything that happens, we can still choose to work for positive change.

I just started roasting and puréeing pumpkins from my garden. I did the biggest pumpkin today and got almost 7 cups of pumpkin (just shy of 4 cans worth). #gardening

We are in a freeze watch for tomorrow night. So, today we started pulling out the garden. Here is some of the strawberry popcorn we grew. I love it so much! #gardening

I harvested a Hopi purple dye sunflower today. I’m hoping to try making dye from it. #flowerfridayfamily

We harvested the giant sunflower today. It was at least 12-13 feet tall after it started drooping. This is a Hopi purple dye sunflower. I want to try dyeing something with it. What should I make?

It’s been a busy baking day. One kid requested pumpkin banana bread. I had no idea that was a thing, but I found a recipe and made that. Jeff requested sharp cheddar and bell pepper bread. It got a little explode-y in the oven, but it smells great.

One of the best parts of making homemade cabbage pockets (runzas/bierocks) is making homemade cinnamon rolls with the rest of the dough. #homemade

A person to me yesterday: “Would you like some peaches from my tree? They have some bad spots, and the pits aren’t cling-free?”
I take the peaches home and I start to realize that beautiful things often show up with seeming rough spots and requiring effort to see them. May I have eyes to see today.

The world, for all its dumpster fiery-ness still has beautiful things. And many of those beautiful things are producing seeds right now for the future.
Harvesting seeds for next spring feels like an act of resistance.
