Well, garden harvest is starting up around here. Tonight we will start the task of freezing corn before it gets too ripe and/or the coons start coming to visit. We are lucky as I think the horses make good watch dogs for the garden since they don’t miss much around here. Speaking of horses I […]

It has been super humid here this past week, in the mid 90’s and my cooking has become non- existent with nothing but sweet corn, cold peas & couscous, salad, and beets filling in for so called supper. But today the humidity dropped and we feasted- which after a long hot week, was welcomed.
On the menu for this […]

I just had to show you all my basket/bag my mom bought for me. I have had it for a while now and have had it in service ever since I greedily opened the box- but I have to say I am amazed with it. My mom found it in her local natural foods store in Cloquet […]

The garden continues to grow and provide for us which makes me very happy and yet a bit sad because we are teetering right on the top of a downhill slide. Before we know it fall and then winter will be upon us and the excitement of new seed catalogs coming in the mail will […]

OK-I have been slacking in the chicken department. I figure since they spread the love (and manure) I should do the same. This is after all 12 happy chickens right? My chickens love me, they wait for me to come out the door and mostly they wait for food- mostly.

Where oh where does a week go? Between work, garden, and animals the week just flies by. We have managed to eat out of our garden for the most part this week- except for one night which husband thought I was killing him since we have had no meat in a week or so and added a […]
Growing up I worked on a horse farm named Kingsport Horse Farm. They raised the most beautiful Thoroughbreds and my school bus passed by the place every morning and afternoon. I think I was in the 5Th grade when I started bugging my parents and the owners of the horse farm to let me work there after […]

As you can see by the dust behind Kassy and the lack of grass on pasture we are in much need of rain. The lawn is getting crunchy(er) by the day and the garden in holding on for dear life. I keep walking out to the garden, whispering to them “hold on a little longer” but […]
