Homemade Organic Graham Crackers

I made my first batch of homemade organic graham crackers.  I have to say I will have a hard time not eating all of these before the kids get home.  They are unbelievably good. 

Between the wheat thins and these, I now have replaced 2 more processed foods we used to buy.  They are much better tasting and much cheaper to make.  They do take time, but they are well worth it.

Dough before it was rolled out as instructed by the recipe I used.

Rain and more Rain

Our weather went from 70-80°, to a high of around 55° the last 2 days.  It’s definitely not gardening or yard work weather.  I can see how weather was a major factor for the life style of pioneers.  Too much rain or lack of rain can make a big difference in farming and gardening.

Although there is still enough work to complete indoors, such as canning more jelly, and regular housework, I may spend time journaling.
