These accidentally-vegan maple pecan shortbread cookies are wonderfully buttery and crisp, and they don’t even have any butter in them! Gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and 100% good, real food ingredients, they’re still snarfed down lightning-quick by butter-loving folk. They couldn’t be simpler to make, too! *Note: You can also make these with stevia extract […]
One sunlit December day, they took to roaming the forests and fields with baskets slung over their arms. Holly-gathering was the objective of the afternoon.

He has brought some of his friends, and we have quite a few deer who frequent the old orchard now. The chickens love watching them. It’s so cute! […]

This started out to be one of those ethereal snowflake photoshoots, but alas, we made it outside just as the last lonely flakes fell from the sky. We’d been waiting all winter for that perfect snowfall- and once again, we had muffed it. Some of us were a trifle irritated and grumpy, and we nearly […]

The other day, we took a little hike to visit a favorite world of ours. It does a person good to get out and explore even just one’s own backyard, every now and again. You really never know what you’ll find. You might even find yourself in a whole different world. Rare close-up photograph […]
