We garden. We can. We bake from scratch. We thrift & sometime order from Amazon. We slow down on purpose. If that is your kind of life, stay a while.

Golden light in my kitchen tonight while I was working my sourdough starter into the mixer, and I had to stop for a second and just look at it. Sundays have a way of stacking up on you. You’re trying to get the house in order, the meals planned, everybody ready for the week ahead, and it’s easy
