When we lived in Michigan, Will and I ice skated, ice-fished, snowmobiled, made snowmen, snow angels, went sledding, rode our horse bareback . . . In other words, we thoroughly enjoyed and took full advantage of our cold, snowy weather!

Yeah, I know most of you are sitting with some wicked-cold weather right now, (don't hate me) but here in central Arizona the weather has been kind to us . . . So kind that I was able to grow enough Black Beauty Zucchini to make our Grand's favorite hot dog relish!

DIY Old Fashioned Soap on a Rope

Was planning on making more cold processed soap, for soap on a rope, but being sick put me behind schedule . . . So, I dug through my "unmentionable" drawers and came up with some lovely scented handcrafted soaps to use in place of my own homemade soap!

Incredible Homemade Applesauce

Tweet

I grew up in the Midwest where apples were plentiful! I remember, back in the good old days, paying $2.00 a bushel to "top" the apple trees (that means picking the apples in the top of the tree). While the price of apples has certainly gone up, my love for a tart, crunchy apple with a little salt, fresh squeezed apple cider, homemade apple pie, and last but not least, Incredible Applesauce, has not diminished!
