Homemade Ice Cream

We spent a lovely weekend at a dear friend of ours Amanda Porter's.  You might remember her mentioned in previous posts as she is a handcrafter of wooden toys and owner of Green Acre Toys.  Her home is a work of art in itself.  It is set on a beautiful piece of land, surrounded by trees with no other houses in sight.  Her home is sustainable with solar paneling, wind powered and in the cold months  is heated with a rock stove.

Last year began a tradition of gathering people on her land to celebrate with dancing, art, yoga and this year making ice cream! It was a lovely day with sons and daughters helping mothers and friend.  We worked together  to make yummy, cold ever so delicious, refreshing ice cream.
