With summer in full swing, we are not only rain dancing for another round of monsoons but praying the gods send more ladybugs whose favorite snacks are the dreaded aphids that attack the new rose growth. This girl needs to chow down!
A few weeks ago, our food bank had a windfall in what seemed like millions of packages of bacon. So many in fact that even after patrons stocked up, a large number remained and our food bank gurus Ann and Liz were concerned that it NOT go to waste.
An overlooked but intrinsic aspect of our food bank adventures remains our discovery that we could and should use all the veggie and meat scraps from our food prep to make our own broth!
With July in full swing heat-wise, our feline crewmates, Latte Papa, Fiona Papillon, and our new youngster Braveheart Primo are redefining the proper approach to the CAT DAYS OF SUMMER!
During the beginning of a long, hot summer, we look for and relish our little miracles and pleasures where we can. Miss Fiona Scritchies Papillon has established a drive-in theatre vantage point (replicating her time at Allen’s when we left the cat video channel on for her in our absence but this time for REAL) behind the honey shack from which she can monitor all feeding station visitors.
June has barely begun and here comes summer in all its spicey glory. Latte Papa has taken up back door greeting duties.
For the Seasons’ Eatings dinner in honour of all those who have served and continue to serve us, we pulled out all the stops in terms of fun, good eats, and reverence on this last Memorial Day.
Some months back, I suggested that we embark on a new creative adventure to attempt to capture photographically the heart & soul of my home.
If you want to see what is REALLY happening in Jerome that you won’t see anywhere else, take a gander at what is happening at The Surgeon’s House aka our Coconut Island in the Sky.
For many years our personal guardian dragon, Plantagenet, a descendent of the dynasty of kings of which Richard the Lionhearted was the last, stood as protectorate of my home.
