We’ve been on the road and just about every piece of technology has broken down. It hardly matters, though: We have enjoyed Sacramento and Davis. We caught the farmers market in Davis on Wednesday night and will catch it again in the morning. The Davis market has great prices on beautiful-looking food, a good bit…

Wild rose
I’m on the road and remembering some of the pictures from home. This is a wild rose, grown from the root stock of a hybrid rose that long since froze back. Some of the newer varieties don’t hold up well, but the roots they are grafted on to may produce surprises of their own. In…
New “laugh for supplements” giveaway; giveaway results
After writing that last post, I sure do need to laugh. I figure we should work it in this blog one way or another. With the new month coming up, I thought I would change up the supplement giveaway and find more opportunities to laugh. There may be nothing that helps our brain health quite…
Postpartum psychosis in the news
There is a story in the news today that is really too horrible to repeat but I thought I would write something briefly about postpartum psychosis. I would really discourage people from searching for the story. In my first pregnancy I did actually believe that my baby was “infested” with demons. I had someone pray…
Ideas to use and preserve your summer produce bounty
Our garden produce is only now rolling in well but I know many lucky people are probably up to their eyeballs already in produce from their own garden or from a friend’s. I have a few “Mom videos” in the pipeline on using and preserving summer produce but thought I would first direct you to…
Birthday cake like Ma Ingalls may have made (except the white flour and sugar part)
Frederick’s first choice of birthday cakes is those half-sheet cakes from Costco with huge frosting balloons on them. Knowing his preference ordering, we didn’t actually ask him what we wanted this year. I said, “Frederick, how about I make a Kentucky Butter Cake, my favorite cake from when I was a girl, and we have…
Second chance baby in pictures, plus the giveaway
I was reading the Afterword for the book (which is now available) that I wrote about six months ago now. I describe in the new version of the Afterword how emotional I was when I realized that not only did I have another baby, but I had a second that looked just like the first….
Yes, you can buy the book
I know that when people look for a book for years and cannot find it, that they may be in disbelief that it does actually exist. Apparently it does. My husband reports a sighting. For my part, I slept for fourteen hours last night and missed the first book sighting in this household. I am…
Bone broth powerhouse drink, filled with nutrients
A couple of years ago my mother put together two nutrient-packed foods into one exceptional package. She mixed bone broth from a leftover leg of lamb with vegetable juice from vegetables that were wilting too much for other uses. I drank it like a drink; my husband ate it like a soup. It is good…
Three giveaway winners, making up for lost time
I am making up for lost time in these giveaways since I was running around at a milk symposium. Last week was supposed to be a week of the desiccated liver giveaway. “Yummm,” you say sarcastically, but I have to say, there is something about the product that gives me a lot of energy. I…
The Book, available now (So long in coming, the book had two versions of the “Afterword”)
This book is so long in coming, I have written two versions of the Afterword. The “Afterword” in a book is supposed to be that last-minute, stick-it-in-there-before-it-hits-the-press part of the book. You are supposed to write it and then actually print the book. If you write it and then suddenly get pregnant and stop all…

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. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill. 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."
