Todays post will be pictureless because I haven’t taken any lately. I am confident you all can picture things in your mind lol.

The shawl is coming along. I have one crescent moon done and the full moon started. With the schedule I have now I can get one or two rows done a day which makes for very slow progress. But it’s ok, I need the hours much more than finishing the shawl. I am however determined to have it done before Beltaine so I can take it on the camping trip and show it off.

We did make our spicy orange marmalade this past week. I am upset about it. I followed the orange marmalade instructions to a tee and it can now be used as an orange pepper glaze. It’s that freaking thin! I think that someone miswrote the instructions. Unfortunatley I am not a canning whiz and do not know how to change things up so that it will come out in marmalade form. Oh well.

I cannot wait for Spring to get here and the first thaw to hit. I am going to be planting tomatoes and strawberries with the kids (as a part of homeschooling) AND we are going to make some trips to various “pick your own” farms around WNC. I want to set up tours to make it educational and get some great organic fruits to can.

So what are you all creating???
