Chapatis Right Way Or My Way Video !!!

It's a cold and rainy day here at the Govindas' Farm. I felt inspired to make chapatis for a change. We bake bread but I felt that the subji that I was making for lunch needed a traditional bread to complement it.  I'm including a video about how the chapatis are made the right way by the Eastern Indian mataji or my way...the Western Cree Indian mataji;)

Fleamarket Sunday

Sundays are when G and I head to town to paint the town red;) Actually we leave our beloved farm and cows for the day to go to the Flea market to sell soap and wild crafted herbal tea. We also take this time to see what people like and what they don't. It is a time to make new friends and contacts. You really never know what is going to happen such as last week this teenage boy who appeared high on something or other grabbed the knife that I use to cut my soap into bars for customers. Mother that I am just said a firm,"No!" and took it back!

Higgly piggly but I'll smarten it up very soon:)

Made from coconut oil and is an amazing stain remover.

Teas that I dry and sell

Is this blurry for you to? Maybe I should put my glasses on!

This week G and I chatted with this elderly fisherman who recounted the most interesting life on the Island. I'll tell you more about him in the near  future because I just had a very busy day baking in our Underground Bakery and I am pooped. Good-night.

You really can't think clearly if you are surrounded with a pile of useless junk. If you aren't using the thingy move it along..recycle or toss it in the garbage.If the clothes no longer fit or to old..give...donate or use it as a rag. I use old clothing as sheet mulch when I'm making a new planting bed. Everything we own takes up a little bit of our energy. It takes energy to move it...to clean it.Things also create mental anxiety. What if you actually hate that picture someone gave you but feel obliged to put it on your wall..just in case that someone comes to visit and asks about it. Family and friends I'm hereby giving you permission to ditch all that art that I've given you as gifts. What if that glass vase is super expensive and the thought that someone might break it completely freaks you out. Give it away and let someone else get the ulcer. Once that thing is gone you will breath a sigh of relief and don't go check up to see it's doing because it's no longer yours. Now that thing is someone else s' problem.

G's holy sock;) ruff?

Socks final resting place as part of the sheet mulch.

I like the Simple Rabbit site online but there are quite a few to inspire and encourage such as ..http://www.writechangegrow.com/2011/03/6-more-inspiring-minimalist-blogs/
