A Black and White World
by Krista | Jul 18, 2014 | Winter
It's a deliciously quiet and peaceful morning. I've got my first cup of coffee and can hear Bear rattling around in the kitchen as he whips up his favorite toasted egg bread rolls for our breakfast. The weather has warmed a smidgen this week and it's lovely to only...
Wood-burning at the Allora Winter Festival
by Krista | Jul 16, 2014 | Winter
It is so good to be home again after a lovely weekend of medieval camping. It was wonderfully relaxing - just what I needed - with good sleeps, hugs and visits with dear friends, and nourishing food cooked over the fire. (I will tell you about it next week.) We...
A Camping Getaway
by Krista | Jul 10, 2014 | Winter

A Little Order in Winter
by Krista | Jul 8, 2014 | Winter
I'm home again from the hospital, sore and exhausted but so happy to be home. There were complications with the procedures that will make recovery a bit longer, but it's OK. The docs were able to do them and that's what counts. Now I rest up and wait for the results....

by Krista | Jun 28, 2014 | Winter

Wouldn’t Be Dead for Quids, Mate
by Krista | Jun 26, 2014 | Winter
After living in Australia for 2 years and 8 months, I have heard more hilarious and bizarre sayings than I ever thought possible. Examples: After I'd rattled off some ideas I'd been pondering, an Aussie looked at me and said: "You're crazier than a fart in a bottle!"...

A Cake Date at a Winter Nursery
by Krista | Jun 20, 2014 | Winter
“I'd choose truth over cake but I'd try to find a way to get both to be honest.” Craig Benzine Storm clouds rolled in yesterday, instantly turning our day cozy. So we had to take time between projects for reading on the veranda, long distance chats with dear old...
