The Good Life

I just harvested the first lettuce from my fall garden.

Food always tastes better when you grew it by your own hand.

Its interesting that the woman in this video, Bonnie, says that when your life is simple you have more time.  I thought all those devices we work so hard to pay for were supposed to be saving us time!  So how is it that she grinds the wheat for her bread by hand and yet she has more time?

I agree with her that something has gone out of whack here.  She says it all started with electricity.  Hmm.  Will be pondering on that for awhile.  Couldn’t survive in this house long without electricity.  Its not built to withstand the summer sun.

She has the same kind of wheat grinder my mom used.  I remember my mom grinding up pomegranate from the little orchard of trees on the place we rented.  She used the juice to make jelly.

Penny and I used to pick out the seeds from the pomegranates and put them in one of those great big jars like you can get pickles in.  We put about 5 sweet to 1 sour and shook it up to mix.  Yum!!!!
