Country Life


This post expired on September 27, 2023.

I met Sadie today on my drive. She’s about 6 months old, part poodle and some other gorgeous breed. As she darted out of the garage, she jumped up on me like I was her long lost friend. And she marked me a little, pee’d right at my feet. We are now forever friends. A dog in the country is a lucky dog. Her neighbor friend was there to pick her up and play with her. Sadie took off to her house with her feet flying through the air. Pure joy. Her parents grow some of the vegetables you order. I picked up fresh aromatic basil, thyme and sage, pumpkins, squash & daikon radishes and jam and pickles. Plymouth Rock does it all. If you judge an owner by their pets, these people are choice. Sadie is one extremely lucky country dog.

Pacesetter Alpaca are hosting tours this weekend. 9-4 on Saturday, 12-4 I believe on Sunday. They are located on Plymouth Church Road near Beloit. You should go, but you can’t take one home, I tried. Alpaca’s are the cutest thing since country dogs.

If you want a beautiful drive, start with Pacesetters, drive up to Bridgets Bakery in Evansville, try Paoli local foods west of Oregon and maybe end up at Staller’s winery near Whitewater. Staller’s is not one of our vendors (yet), but I swear they are the best local winery I’ve tasted. They grow their own grapes.

Speaking of Bridgets Bakery; I forgot to press “send” on my order. Dash It All! (say that with an English accent please) Lucky me they had what I wanted on the shelf, 2 white chocolate raspberry muffins and rye bread. After Bridgets I go to Paoli Foods and my son bought a mint brownie, a walnut brownie and a Root Beer Malt – yes I said Malt…. I stole part of his walnut brownie and tasted his malt. You may detect a pattern here. I buy sweets. I tend to lean towards high protein diets. Please quit laughing. I ate a huge walnut out of the middle of the walnut brownie, so I think I have eaten the right amount of protein. And the malt had nutritious value I am sure. And then I came home and ate half a white chocolate raspberry muffin with coffee. The fruit group is covered.

I am a lucky person. I got to drive all over the country today. Suddenly the Green Acres themesong is an earworm. I do fancy myself a Gabor sister. To those under 35ish I apologize for the peculiar reference. Look up Green Acres on Youtube and you’ll see me. I’m the beautiful blonde wife.

See ya soon.
