When it gets cold, I bake!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not only am I canning up more beef and tomorrow the two “extra” turkeys in our freezer but I’m digging into my recipe book and baking some good whole wheat bread and my Half-time spoon rolls. Maybe I’m like a bear, getting ready for winter? With my new pound of fresh yeast, I’m all set to go! Will’s outside, working on our rack for the new solar panels. He has discovered a glitch in his plans. He mis-figured our need for charge controllers for the new array so I’m sure he’s also trying to think of a way around his mistake. It looks like we’ll need three charge controllers instead of one. We’ll see how that works out. Meanwhile, I’m baking breads \u2026 (If you’d like more on this subject, check out the Thirteenth Year Anthology<\/a> or my article, Bread: the staff of life in Issue 78 of BHM<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

I have to laugh at our inside animals. Spencer is so happy he rolls around on his back, laughing and moaning. He even tosses a ball up with his front feet and catches it in his mouth. Hondo just hops on the couch and takes a nap with a smile on his face \u2014 on his back, of course. He never sleeps on his side like a “normal” dog. Nor can he howl! When the wolves howl, he tries to join in, but it’s just an off-key warble instead. Mittens goes out and catches at least one vole or mouse every day, but she doesn’t like too much cold. She comes in and hops up on the kitty tower Ashley bought for her and plays with her ball for awhile then takes a nap. Gee, what a hard life our pets lead \u2026<\/p>\n

I’ve been busy with pen and paper, trying to figure out where we’ll plant all the stuff we want to trial this year. Boy, there’s a lot of beans! When we watch the news with killings, fires, soldiers firing tear gas at illegal immigrants trying to come into the country, politics, etc. it is so depressing, I get out my seeds and decide to plant even more beans. It’s all I can do but pray. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
