Now we just need to paint the walls a vibrant color (just got the paint tonight) and we will be set until spring when we will shift to our outdoor multi-media center!

About Me
- Jennifer and Steve
- Hi! Thanks for checking out our blog. We are a husband and wife duo with four rescued very independent cats - Bounder, Bobcat, Flora and Alvin. We live in Central Ohio in an hundred+ year old house. Self sufficiency is important to us and is something you will see take greater emphasis in this blog over time! We are interested in so many things: nature, hiking, craft, thrift, cooking great food, growing food and plants, living simply, etc. Our blog will have little bits of all these things so check back often.

Common Milkweed
Why The Common Milkweed? Well many reasons: 1 - It's important! Milkweed is the only larval food for the Monarch Butterfly and Milkweed Tussock Moth and food for many other arthropods. 2 - It's common, yet possesses singular beauty and therefore represents all the beauty in and around us (right under our noses and on "this side of the fence") and the potential for that common beauty to be recognized, expressed and celebrated. 3 - It defies attempts at eradication (where it is considered a nuisance) and, in so doing, proves that the beauty contained in the common endures.
