Moments I’m Enjoying

in Simply Living

January life seems to be made up of small, quiet moments for me. Nothing is moving too fast and everything has this sleepy quality. Everything seems to be in a holding pattern waiting for spring.

I enjoying watching the snow fall and land in fluffy piles. We’ve been strangely without the white stuff until recently.

The cats like Jeff and I seek out the sun rays whenever they appear and bask in them our faces absorbing as much warmth and Vitamin D as we can.

There are plenty of quiet moments with the sewing machine and knitting needles too – photos of those projects coming soon.

How about you, what moments are you enjoying?

We eat more soups in fall and winter, salads in spring and summer. More [...]

An Unusual Winter

January 17, 2012

There isn’t much snow here in northwest Montana. It’s been unusually sunny and bright too, this winter. I’m not complaining about the sunshine but the lack of snow is a little disconcerting. Still instead of worrying to much about something I can’t control, I choose to enjoy it. We take walks around the yard, investigating [...]

Food Community

January 16, 2012

Ever since I read Coming Home to Eatby Gary Paul Nabhan about 6 years ago, I’ve wanted to create a network of local food and folks involved in harvesting, growing, and creating that local food. It’s been a very gradual and slow process but when I look at my pantry and see the meals gracing [...]

Yogurt

January 11, 2012

I’ve been a yogurt eater and lover my entire life. I remember particularly loving the fruit-on-the-bottm types when I was kid. As an adult I started making my own and even now that I’m allergic to cow dairy I continue to make yogurt from local, raw goat’s milk. I go through a quart a week. [...]
