We made butter today! It is so yummy! We used the buttermilk to bake delicious bread.
Forgot to take pictures, but I found this one online to show the process.

"The Greeks had just one word for "economize." Our New England grandmothers had twelve: "Eat it up; use it up; make it do, or do without."

 Helen Lyon Adamson

Grandmotherʼs Household Hints 1963

"It is a great mistake to suppose that economy consists in buying the poorest articles and in making the table unattractive. The great art is to know where to save and when to spend, and how to use everything to the best possible advantage. There is such a great thing as stingy extravagance and wasteful scrimping."

 "Do all the good you can,
and make as little fuss about it as possible."
Charles Dickens

We had so much fun! All those yummy berries will be turned into jam tomorrow!

Wish my Honey could have been with us, 68 days until he gets home from Iraq.
