Peaceful Art Vlog| Sketching, Painting & Making Acorn Coffee!
Join along in my part of the cozy fall mountains while I sketch and paint, and make acorn coffee from the abundance of acorns during this season.
To make acorn coffee:
1. Collect ripe acorns in fall
2. Dry the acorns using a dehydrator or low oven settings for about 8-12 hours
3. Crack open the nuts, inspecting for any moldy or wormy ones
4. Leach out the bitter tannins (hot or cold leaching work for acorn coffee, hot leaching is faster)
5. Roast until dark brown and chocolatey (350-375 degrees for 35-60min)
6. Enjoy!!!
Some people pre grind their acorns before leaching, then roast. I decided to try more of a "whole bean" method and grind fresh for each cup, to ensure longer lasting freshness.
I found that the most DELICIOUS way to enjoy the acorn coffee is to brew by method of pour over, then add honey and milk (it tastes like a super nutty hot chocolate). I also have added homemade pecan liqueur, which of course is delicious and cozy.
Happy crafting!!!

Off-Roading Usal Road Motorcycle CRASH!
Переглядів 154Рік тому
Did a 30 mile long ride from Shelter Cove, CA to Fort Bragg over Usal Road which is mostly dirt/rocks. Fell on some loose dirt/rock/leaves and got trapped under my bike. When my husband tried lifting it off, the skid plate started digging into my inner shin bone (the strong bone of the two thankfully!). Thought I broke it, only did some nerve and tissue damage though.

    You are speaking my same thoughts, feelings & my soul about growing up as a child in the Western North Carolina mountains near Asheville. After Hurricane Helene we have lost much of this, and it is simply good to know, and I choke up saying this and can barely speak, for this old woman to know that there's a young woman from the other side of this continent and country who speaks the exact same thoughts and had the same formation of her own being by walking in the wild woods... so nurturing and natural. Thank you profoundly.

    A day on earth Every day I see the world I am forever amazed by its unending wonders And all the beauty of everything around me Each blade of grass, every pebbles, shoot and twigs Drops of dew as diamonds in the morning sun The fresh scent of renewed hope in the early breath The promises of life awoken Riches and abundance and rewards near I am so very small - this world so big Though I look and look I cannot see very far But I can see I belong here That I belong to here The new day also brings hurdles and sorrow Streams to cross, treacherous and menacing covers I am just a solitary little mouse trotting along In this immeasurable field I call home And no matter the dangers and the threats However unkind the weather and cold the nights And the friends lost and the dark days I am grateful for this ground I walk on I am the life given to me Like a voice needs a listener And the dream a dreamer This earth comes alive under my tiny little feet I am bound to it as it is to me I am just a solitary little mouse trotting along Small and defenceless, sometimes scared and unsure But trusting and confident in this moment Today, there is nowhere else I would rather be Here and now I belong To this life given to me I am a voice, I am a dream, I am a breath I am just a little mouse
