The Victory Garden lives another day
In the midst of a summer yard clean-up and forest fire watches, our Victory Garden has slowly begun to provide us with summer squash and peppers.

Purslane: An omega-3 garden surprise
The garden has had a slow start this summer, but we have had an abundant and welcome collection of volunteer purslane.

Omega-3 fatty acids build our brains; clinical…

Life After Depression
There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family.

My 7-year-old son Frederick and I chronicle our adventures at Gill on the Hill when we're not exploring. Frederick posts some of his homeschool projects at "Frankly Frederick."
