This is the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week. I think I might celebrate by re-reading one of my favorite banned books, To Kill a Mockingbird. What about you?
World Vegetarian Day
As most of my readers know, we eat a lot of meat-free meals. A couple of years ago we went vegetarian for a year. You can read more about that here. These days I usually cook mostly vegetarian at home and try to select organic, humanely-raised meats and poultry for those times we do eat…
Changing the world
Last night we attended a fund raiser for two very smart, hard-working women running for office in our area. It was a real pleasure to hear them speak and and the whole event was a lot of fun. Donna Bebo (left) and Susan Paddack (right) We served a free meal of beans, cornbread and cobbler….
My new boots!
I ordered myself a new pair of rain boots and they arrived today. Aren’t they cute? And just in time since it’s been raining today and we have more in the forecast the next couple of days. I bought them from a delightful New Orleans store called Fleurty Girl. Here is the link to the…
My Autumn Bucket List

I bought bananas and Nilla Wafers after church yesterday (my daughter actually makes her own vanilla wafers for this!) and as soon as the bananas are perfectly…
Autumn in Oklahoma
Today is the Autumnal Equinox, otherwise known as the first day of fall. Here in Oklahoma you might be forgiven if you didn’t notice that. It was very warm today and not at all fall-like. Actually that’s okay with me. I like early fall well enough as long as I don’t think too much about…
Friday on Apple Tree Farm
One of the unexpected benefits of having a dog is that I now spend more time walking around our property. We don’t have a fenced area for him yet so we take him for walks on a leash – don’t want to chance him running off and getting hurt. I may not be so thrilled…
On days like these…
Yesterday I had a doctor appointment and rather than going through town, I took the back roads. I did so to avoid midday traffic (if you live in a city, you can laugh) and traffic lights but I was so struck by the beauty of the route that I went home that way, too. You…
