You Are Not A Machine. You Are More Like A Garden. You Need Different Things On Different Days. A Little

But what are schools for if not to make children fall so deeply in love with the world that they really want to learn about it. …In a proper school no fact would ever be presented as a soulless one, for the simple reason that there is no such thing. Every facet of reality, discovered where it lives, startles with its wonder, beauty and meaning. ~ Marjorie Spock Spock, M (1973) Too Much Like Work in Waldorf Schools. Kindergarten and Early Grades 1993. Mercury Press

Fred.... no second thought. I love Sirius but the loss with Fred was so great.

If you could save Sirius or Fred, who would you choose?

THIS IS HARDEST QUESTION EVER! I CAN’T ANSWER THAT…. NEVER…

It’s that time of year again where I make a mass recipe post because I love cooking hearty dishes and warm treats during the fall and winter. So here is a list of both vegetarian and vegan slow cooker recipes. 

For the recipes that include animal products, you can use alternatives such as coconut or almond milk, maple syrup, and egg replacements to make it vegan. At the bottom of this page, you will find slow cooker posts for spring/summer recipes and an early list for fall/winter.

One who saves warriors, the desire of fulfillment, pledged to god, and living near a grassy area.

Love. Except the god part.

The summer rolls over stabbed by the city red plumage explodes across the trees. The colors always reminded me of you. She slowly drips back into the earth until everything is stained, removed, then frozen. And the world begins again.
