It's no surprise that your cafe has become so successful. Hopefully you'll be able to scale back the hours, while still making a profit. One can't put a price on time.

Time and freedom/autonomy aren't measured in dollars.

True, the container will expire long before the salt does.

I haven't been canning anything recently, but I've been eating preserved fruits in heavy sugar sauce that I put up last summer. On plain yogurt, or cottage cheese, and on rice krispies (the only cold breakfast cereal I like), this taste of summer in mid-winter is wonderful. I did not grow any...

Send some of that warm weather out east here to us, please! We're in the deep freeze still. I will say that the days have become noticeably longer, and we've had some sunny days this past week which adds cheer even if the sunlight has no warmth yet. Better days are coming!

I wouldn't want them tearing up my paved driveway and cement garage floor. Many years ago (before we had a paved driveway) we tried studded tires. Initially they had superior traction to regular snow tires, but the second year those studs had worn smooth, making the surface more slippery than...

We saw Gordon Lightfoot in concert many years ago.

But they haven't killed it, have they? It will grow new berries next year, and berries eaten may spawn new plants! Look on the bright side!

That's the point of berry-bearing shrubs and trees, to feed the birds and other wildlife in winter.

Pink lava salt is not what it used to be.

Mark Knopfler's music is still fine and these accompanying images/paintings are lovely. I need to find our old MK's CDs somewhere in our vast collection and pull the songs to put on a USB drive to listen to in the car.

Last night I was singing this song while shoveling snow.

I've called breakfast "breakfrast" all my life without realizing it until I noticed my sister using the same mispronunciation. That extra 'r' is almost unnoticeable to bystanders, and it must surely have come from our midwestern/upper peninsula near ancestors. Surrounded by those of Norwegian...

That's the wise course of action. Investing in snow tires and snow plows and truckloads of salt wouldn't make sense in a state that almost never sees snow.

Crazy! Be careful indeed!
