Memories

Angel Buff December 31, 2012 0 Comments

Last year I found this idea on Pinterest. It was suggested that throughout the year you write down your memories in little notes and place them in a jar/box, and then read them at the end of that year. So we tried this throughout 2012 and read them today for New Year's Eve. This is such a wonderful idea! ...

Tradition

Angel Buff December 25, 2012 0 Comments

For years John and I have built and decorated a gingerbread house together as one of our Christmas traditions. This year was the first time we decorated gingerbread as a family of three. Sera was very excited to be involved. We picked out a train this year, and though it never actually went together...

Mama's Little Helper

Angel Buff December 16, 2012 3 Comments

Our baby girl is quite the ‘little helper.’ She is so eager, insistent really, to be involved and to learn. And I want to take the time to make the learning fun for her, to cause her to want to continue to be involved and helpful. And while I am taking the time to teach her, I also want to take the time for myself, to...

Christmas (a little early)

Angel Buff December 15, 2012 0 Comments

This year our persepective has changed a little bit about having to "wait" until Christmas Day. And since Sera's present arrived a little early and Daddy had a little time to assemble it while Sera was napping, she had a nice suprise when she woke up...her very own kitchen! ...

His Handywork

Angel Buff December 14, 2012 0 Comments

Did you enjoy the [Geminid] meteor shower last night? It was a first for us. I cannot remember ever seeing anything of comparison. Dozens of ‘shooting stars!’ It was absolutely amazing. If you have never taken the time to look to the heavens during such an event, I would urge you to! (The news has reported that you may...

"Back to Eden"

Angel Buff December 09, 2012 0 Comments

We wanted to share a link with you for a documentary that was a blessing to us. Mr. Gautschi causes you to really think about gardening differently, both physically and spiritually. "BACK TO EDEN shares the story of one man’s lifelong journey, walking with God and learning how to get back to the simple,...

Seasons

Angel Buff December 04, 2012 0 Comments

From one season, to the next. It seems like just yesterday we were entering the fall season, and now, already, winter is only weeks away. The time has gone by so fast. And in such a blur. Since the seasons have changed [in our personal lives] we have seen the persimmons ripen and the leaves fall from the tree. We anticipated...

Trying to Find the Right Words

Angel Buff November 11, 2012 0 Comments

Firstly, I want to apologize for our absence. It feels like it has been so long since I have been here. So hard to believe that a month has went by! It isn't that we haven't had anything to blog about. There have been posts swimming around in my head for a while, but the timing hasn't been right. ...

Peaceful Retreat

Angel Buff October 14, 2012 0 Comments

“Peaceful Retreat” (written by Sherrie Bradley Neal) Down a narrow hidden path. Sought out by Wisdom’s eye. A peaceful place of refuge calls. To come rest awhile beside. Listen to the waters. Falling over mountains steep. To gently flow for endless days. Through eternity’s retreat. And on the far horizon. Of...

A Gardener Learns...The Fall Garden

Angel Buff October 08, 2012 1 Comments

Barbara Dodge Borland said it best, “A gardener learns more in the mistakes than in the successes.” In September we went ahead and planted our small fall garden, in part because we were anxious to get going, but also as sort of an experiment. We knew that by getting started we would begin our learning experience....

The mountains are calling...

Angel Buff October 07, 2012 0 Comments

We had a cold, but, nonetheless, a lovely and peaceful weekend in the mountains, visiting family and enjoying the start of the fall colors. Weekends just are never long enough, and there is still a lot that needs to get done today, so for now I am going to leave you with a few pictures from our Saturday....

Wild/Woodland Strawberry

Angel Buff October 03, 2012 0 Comments

While working out in the yard today, my daughter and I found a little treat - some wild strawberries. Wild strawberries typically have a much stronger and sweeter flavor than the domesticated versions and are highly nutritious containing iron, potassium, calcium, sodium and high contents of vitamin C. And not only...

My New Little Friend

Angel Buff October 01, 2012 0 Comments

Yes, I am referring to a spider. And I will start by saying, I don’t like spiders in my home, but this little guy and me have an agreement – as long as it stays outside, we can be friends. On our hiking trips, John and I noticed some spider webs that were weaved into funnel shapes, beautiful works of art, absolute...

Playing Outside

Angel Buff September 29, 2012 0 Comments

Our Saturday plans were a bit skewed because of some rain, but we made the best of it. It was warm enough this morning and the rain turned to a drizzle – a perfect time to play in some puddles! We had a blast. By the way, did you know that September 24th through September 30th (annually) is “Take a Child Outside...

Legend of the Persimmon Seed

Angel Buff September 24, 2012 2 Comments

Fall is definitely in the air, and off to a very cool start no less. We have already had several very chilly mornings that have required some long sleeves. This cold weather creeping in has already got me thinking about wintertime. Last winter was fairly mild here. It never really seemed to get that cold and we didn’t...

Living 'Off The Grid'

Angel Buff September 21, 2012 0 Comments

I wanted to share this documentary, made by the Stroud family. There is alot of useful information and things to think about if you are considering a move to living off the grid. I was especially thankful for the insight provided by their children. If you have kids, what are some ways that you keep...

The Best Fried Okra (and Peppers)

Angel Buff September 19, 2012 1 Comments

We don’t fry a lot of food in our house, but okra is just one of those things you want fried every now and again. I came up with this recipe recently, while experimenting and trying to change up the usual, and, I will have to say, this is now my favorite way to have fried okra. And even my husband, who isn’t the...

Morning Glories

Angel Buff September 18, 2012 2 Comments

Most morning glory flowers unravel into full bloom in the early morning with vibrant color that fades during the heat of the day. The flowers usually start to fade a few hours before the petals curl/close. Morning glories are generally considered perrennials in warmer/frost-free climates and tend to spread rather quickly....

Hiking #2

Angel Buff September 15, 2012 0 Comments

Today we went back to the nature park. We are working to increase our endurance by traveling new, more difficult trails and longer distances. Since the new trails were much more quiet and not traveled as much, there were more signs of wildlife, which of course was exciting. Today we hiked 4.6 miles with our lunch break...
