from the garden to the kitchen 
In my kitchen I spent a rainy Saturday afternoon processing apples from Wintergreen organic farm, a local (yes!) farm in Florence. There is something magical about doing such simple, meaningful, work (yes I am a Montessorian). This kitchen tool the peeler, corer, and slicer with just a hand crank drew the kids into the kitchen very quickly I hardly had to any of that work. They waited in line and took turns to turn the handle and watch this simple gadget do all the work. The long peels that cam off the apple was the "all you can eat buffet" Ruben was advertising. There were some sore tummies by the time the 28 lbs of apples were processed. Yet lots of smiles when later we had our pie filling warmed of Nancy's plain yogurt. I am not sure if this stuff will even make it to Feb.

Then is sat there looking beautiful for months with tar paper and a wooden bottom that was not so pretty, but functional and no trim at all. Time went by and I started to come to a decision on how to finish this unique window. With the help of a friend, the window has come to completion and I just love it! What a treat to have such a fine piece in the middle of my kitchen above my sink (where I spend a lot of time). Oh the joy of visual beauty.
