Sprouts in a Mason Jar
I use Mason jars for making sprouted greens. It takes about 5-7 days to make salad sprouts so I usually have two jars going at staggered times so they'll be ready a few days apart. And they are just as easy as the cold brew coffee process.

Cold Brew in a Mason Jar
When I was growing up much of our food came out of Mason jars. I don't do much canning these days, but I've been whipping up a quart of cold brew coffee concentrate in a Mason jar about every other day this summer. It is SO easy and SO yummy and WAY cheaper than a coffee shop.

September and October are truly beautiful. It’s just that the increasingly shorter daylight hours remind me that the shadowy dark of winter is not too far off. I really need…

June Wrap-Up and a Vacation Quiz
July has arrived already–in case you hadn’t noticed–and it’s time for my month-in-review post. Here’s what’s been going on around here lately… In My Neighborhood Summer evenings are lovely on the front porch! I’ve been adding books a few at a time to the two Little Free Libraries that are nearby. They aren’t full yet, but I’m getting there! I’m…
