	<description>Better to sit at the waters&#039; birth, than a sea of waves to win; To live in the love that floweth forth, Than the love that cometh in. Be thy heart a well of love, my child, Flowing, and free, and sure; For a cistern of love, though undefiled, keeps not the spirit pure.</description>

We have chosen not to have an ultrasound at all this pregnancy, unless I am advised by my midwife to do so, so I wanted to make a special blanket to welcome either a boy or a girl when the birth-day comes!

I was reading somewhere about the companion planting of [...]]]></description>

Saying it again as I tried my dried loquats I suddenly thought, &#8220;Maybe it&#8217;s a real word in another language!&#8221; So I googled Edderdem.

They started out supplying goods to the Amish in Ohio in 1955 and now they have a huge wonderland of goods available to everyone. They supply many tools for homesteaders. Since I am a Homestead Hopeful, I thought that a great thing I [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t tried this year&#8217;s recipe yet, cause I&#8217;m afraid if I use one, later I&#8217;ll wish I hadn&#8217;t because there&#8217;ll be someone I want to give it to.
