Ukrainian Easter Eggs and Being A Mess
by Krista | Apr 16, 2017 | Autumn
Sometimes life is painful and stressful. You try your best to fix it and make it work and things just seem to muddle up into a worse tangle. And sometimes, in the midst of it, friends invite you to come over. And as much as you like them, you know you're a weepy mess...
A Whole Lot of Medievalness
by Krista | Apr 14, 2017 | Autumn
It's cloudy and quiet this Friday morning, and things feel peaceful after much hustle and bustle the past few days. We had toast and eggs for breaky, fleshed out our Master Packing List for medieval events, fed the pigs, let out the goats, and now we're sitting and...
Autumn Days and Roasting Vegetables Over A Campfire
by Krista | Apr 12, 2017 | Autumn
I've been loving these exquisitely beautiful Autumn days. Chilly and shimmering in the early mornings... ...luxuriously warm and golden during the day. I've spent as much time outside as possible, turning old animal pens into new garden plots by digging out huge rocks...
Scones, Soup, and Rain
by Krista | Apr 5, 2017 | Autumn
The howling winds that shrieked around the eaves and sent tree branches flying this week are gone at last. We happily bid them farewell and welcomed lovely gentle rain that cleaned the air and softened the earth and made our little world smell fresh and loamy. It's...
Harvesting and Learning
by Krista | Mar 29, 2017 | Autumn
It's dark and blustery today as we scan the skies for the storm that's supposed to be heading our way. I'm taking advantage of the cooler temperatures to get outside and plant and harvest, putting the last of my winter garden in. I dug four plots and planted sugar...
Harvesting and Creating with Pineapple Sage
by Krista | Mar 28, 2017 | Autumn
It's been hot and still this week with nary a hint of the autumn we're supposed to be in. I love the cooler seasons, but this extended summer is rather splendid, especially for my gardens and the mama goats who look like they're about to give birth any second. Each...
Thanking the Changelings
by Krista | Mar 24, 2017 | Autumn
It's dark and still this morning. The air feels thick and heavy, with barely a breath of air to stir the leaves in the trees. It's a day for quiet contemplation, for gentle pokings and proddings as I examine my life and work again to make sure they're reflecting what...
Making Peace With A Body At War With Itself
by Krista | Mar 21, 2017 | Summer
So honored to share the following post written by my dear English friend, Katy. Her courage, strength, love, and humor never fail to inspire me, and I'm delighted to share a bit of her story with you today. -------------------------------------- Hating my body is...
Rain, Campfires, and Russian Ballet
by Krista | Mar 13, 2017 | Summer
Rain is falling gently, making our world quiet and peaceful. I have an unexpected day off and am basking in the utter novelty of a day to myself. Bear and I had a leisurely breakfast, I watched Miss Marple and Poirot, and sipped tea on the veranda then hot chocolate...
