Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

I can’t believe I was able to get to this episode, which has been on my heart for a long time. I have always wanted to spend the day cooking a Thanksgiving meal the old-fashioned way — outdoors in my primitive stone bake oven. I’ve kept the meal real simple as, like many, I am watching my budget closely. This meal was way under $15! 🙂 And it was so delicious.

So I invite you to come and walk alongside me for a traditional 18th-century (maybe even 17th-century!) Vermont Thanksgiving.

Warning: It is going to be a long day. 😉 But I end with a new Thanksgiving tradition I started this year. It is one I hope blesses you and one in which I hope becomes a treasured way to end Thanksgiving Day with. So pull up a chair and join me…and invite a friend. Share the link with others as a creative way to send Thanksgiving blessings!

Blessings to you all!

An early holiday treat for you! For many here in the U.S., Thanksgiving preparations are underway and that means the chaos of “doing” Christmas is here. But here at the farm, I embrace an early Advent…my calm before Christmas…and I do so by sharing with you an old Swiss tradition of making turnip lanterns to light up these November days. So come! Join me at the farm!

Blessings! Donna

My friends, we just had our first snow of the season and it came just as I had to say good bye to PotPie, my old hen. It has been a sad time here at the farm, but in my grief I remember how we must always keep taking those steps in faith forward. For there is always hope waiting for us. So come, join me for this special time together. It is good to be with you.

Blessings, Donna
