A large bowl of French Breakfast organic radishes are going into the freezer today. Just wash, cut smaller, and blanch 2-3 minutes (toss into an ice bath) and freeze. They will come in handy this winter for roasted vegetables and soups.
Warning. This is long, and I am shocked I took the time to do it with all the work I need to do yet....I'm not even sure anyone has time to read my posts lately....but....

Pearl ~ Purging the Bedding
Ever wake up feeling like Pearl (we accidentally left her out all winter)? Rained on, snowed, on, hailed on, wind blown, knocked down.........looking all haggard? I did. All of December and all of January.
February is a new month, and I am back to almost walking 2 full miles a day. It's been painful, but trips to the chiropractor are swiftly returning my body to a painless stage. It's a lesson to myself really. I think about that miserable experience, and I wake up to a fully charged, positive demeanor.
I don't skip the herbal teas. I don't skip the exercise. I clean something every day even in the midst of a canning day, or other engaging day.

Meet Pearl
We picked the most humid day for this project, but one 16 year-old was willing to help. Pearl is not fancy, but we didn't dress her for a contest. Just some thrift store clothing, one of our old aprons (full body, but had to fold it over for a waist apron), an old hat of ours, some scrap material for the head, straw to stuff her, and a few sharpies to give her a face.
