But I did want you to know why trampolines are so dangerous in West Virginia.
(Email photo making the rounds…. I couldn’t resist it! Especially this week, the revered near national holiday status week in West Virginia in which the entire state shuts down to celebrate DEER SEASON.)
Don’t hurt yourself trying to get to the leftovers today. Cuz, uh, THEY’RE MINE. BACK OFF!

I froze Grandmother Bread dough earlier this week and took it out the night before Thanksgiving. I let the dough make its first rise while I slept, then made cinnamon rolls in the morning. (See full Grandmother Bread recipe with cinnamon roll instructions here.) It was delish!
I want to tell each and every one of you how thankful I am to you for your willingness to contribute to support this site–and I will, soon. (If you don’t hear from me personally, that means I screwed up and lost your address, so I’m apologizing already just in case.) I also want to thank each of you who left kind words and thoughts. I am humbled by your sweetness, and can only hope that I can live up to your support. I may not be rich in dollars, but I am rich with the blessing of all of you. This site means a lot to me, and to know that it means something to you, too, is amazing. This site is my heart and soul, my family and my farm and my heritage (and for those of you who live in or are from WV, I know it’s your heritage, too, and it is really important to me to honor that and lift up West Virginia to the world for the awesome, yet mostly ignored, place that it is). Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you for simply being here! You are what makes this site special.
I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving, and as Coco likes to say, “Don’t forget to take a nap.”
They’re thankful, too–for snow melt and green grass to munch again.
"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
Make friends, ask questions, have fun!

"Lamb-y, then whammy! Get some tickets to Miami! Snow is easing, but we're still freezing. It may be spring by the astronomer, but not by the thermometer. Mighty fine, then leonine."
