“Party Line”

This is the image of a family telephone that was used on the farm.  Mounted up high on the wall, one might need to step on a stool to use it.  Telephones have certainly advanced the capability to communicate, even on the farm.  How they have changed.

In the old days, several neighbors shared the same telephone line and could join in on a conversation or at least listen in. It could be problematic.  If someone needed to make a quick call to someone, the already “in-progress” conversation of a neighbor could delay their call, often irritating and impeding progress for the day.  The wait could be seemingly endless.

When single lines became available, folks could pay a higher rate to the phone company for a private line.  Private lines became for the norm over the years.  Now a party line is just a memory.

In the cold winter, what better time can there be than to make a call or send a card to a friend.  You may send this little card with it’s “Party Line” memories to a friend.  It is available in our store.

“Seed Packets”

seed packages, seed packets, garden seeds, flower seeds, cosmos seed, popcorn seed, bush bean seed,It is not too late to get started planning  your garden.   Peruse your favorite nursery and seed catalog for the choices available to you.  Some seeds may need to be started inside, so get them in a timely fashion.  Coupons or discounts may be available for ordering early.

My order will come soon.  Even though the landscape is overrun with drifts of snow, spring will come sooner than we think.  So to avoid the hurried “trip to the store” to buy my seed, I plan to buy them from the comfort of my home by catalog.

This little card named, “Seed  Packets” will bring back memories of the garden or the farm to someone.  It might even make a fun May Day gift if you slip a package of seeds in with the card.  Use this card to greet your friends and celebrate the return of spring. View this and other cards in our online store.

Green Beauty

Green plant, shamrocks in bloom, pink shamrocks, After this long, hard winter, are you sick of seeing white on white?  Today for us is a record low high.  It is noon and -7°  F.  In the blue sky, the sun shines brightly down on the white snow.

With spring only three short weeks away, I thought you might enjoy setting your eyes on a Shamrock,  a tender plant well-known for its green beauty.  Not so commonly known are the delicate pink blooms that grace this plant.  The green and pink together cheer the heart as we await the grand awakening of our surroundings with the beginning of springtime.

“Standing on the Rock”

Lone tree on rock on North Shore of Lake Superior, waves lapping in, sea gulls, lake shore, rock, rock on shoreThis winter has certainly been hard on us and the rest of nature.  Up north on Lake Superior, the cold, the snow and the windy gales pummel the landscape.  Yet in the midst of the harsh weather, this tree can stand erect because it is clinging to the rock which is unmovable.

That rock reminds me of the unmovable foundation that we can find by putting down our roots and trusting in Jesus Christ, who came to be our Savior.  The one who seeks shelter from the storms in his life can depend on Him.

If you know of someone who could benefit from “Standing on the Rock,”  you may find this card available in our store.

Menus from the Shelf

corn dryer, mason jars, home-canned foods, food preservation, gingham, strainer,My menus in the winter often come from the freezer or a jar. Many days I go down to my cellar and choose the groceries I have stored.  I clean a lot of quart and pints when I wash dishes.

This time of the year has seasonal tasks that keep me busy.  I am delighted that so much of my cooking has already been done in the summer and fall when the produce was fresh. Though cooking still takes attention, I don’t have to spend as much time traveling to the grocery store since there is a lot of food on my shelf.

I have items like dried parsley, basil and sage.  My pie cupboard holds black cherry and choke cherry jelly.  Strawberry syrup and currant jelly are two favorites we enjoy.  Grape jam and apple jelly await the time when I will choose them for my table.  Old faithful recipes like Best-in-the-World Dill Pickles and homemade Tomato Soup, apple pie filling and salsa perch on the shelves ready for  the taking.  Cooked, tender chicken rests in pint and quart jars.

In celebration of the art food preservation, we are featuring the card named, “Preserves.”  It may motivate you to think about how you can grow some food that the Lord provides for you in your garden or in the orchard. Perhaps this scene from the past may encourage and warm the heart of a friend who recalls the good old days of preserving foods for the winter.

The card,”Preserves,” may be found for sale in our store.
