Well, after being sick with a bad flu for more than two weeks, we had a lot of snow! Kiwi and Luna were delighted and ran and played and opened their mouths for the snowflakes, while I watched them in dismay and resentment. Dealing with snow on a farm is really hard; I had to do all the hard work myself and it is not fun.
Anyway, these days I have been feeling really down; I was first excited by the approach of Christmas (I bought myself a small Christmas tree and planted in in a big pot and will be using it for years. I guess I might need to change the pot when it grows a bit bigger), then now I feel very blue. I have no motivation to do anything, start the decoration, write the cards, make some simple gifts etc.
My problem is I started to worry about the future and where I will end up with my kitties. Yes, I'm fine for the time being and have no problems but this place is temporary and I need to find a permeant place; Im just so tired of being rootless and having no base, a place to call home. All I want is a small piece of land, build a small natural home or set up a yurt/caravan, grow my veggies, plant lots of fruit trees, and have chickens for eggs and a couple of goats for milk. Oh, and a couple of donkeys for company and cute overdose :) A small holding is all what I want. Will this ever happen? I pray so.
Last year I made these cookies for Christmas for friends, the two local farmer friends, the postman, the honey seller, the owner of a local small cafe, etc. I found the recipe in my recipe box; it seems I had it from the internet years ago. The cookies were a hit and everyone loved them. Now, I was thinking to remake them and include the recipe in Italian for the friends, etc but I could not find the recipe! I looked every where but it has just disappeared! I wonder if someone can direct me to a similar recipe online? I do not remember the ingredients at all; all I remember is there was ginger powder and apricot jam.
