Welcome

Your host for this blog is a veteran woman with a (soon-to-be) doctorate.  But I'd rather spend time tending animals, spinning yarn, knitting dish clothes, milking a cow - or goats, gardening, drinking coffee, and cooking (and eating) than doing most anything else.  I love to learn how to do things by hand or from scratch.  This blog is a catalog of lessons learned, hard-found best practices, and amusing anecdotes.
