The moon woke me up around 4 o’clock this morning. She had lit up my room with a beautiful red glow and even blurry eyed it was awesome. By 4:15am I was sitting out on the stoop trying to take pictures which didn’t turn out so grand but I did get this one. I will be staying up […]

Geesh, does time fly. I have been so busy keeping up with the chores outside I have had a hard time getting anything done inside like sitting down here and writing. First off we’re OK, we did not flood! Thank you so much for thinking of me! We ended up with 6 inches of rain which is […]

When you go without water for even a short while, it makes you think. It makes you look at your movements throughout the day. It first dawned on me when I knew we didn’t have water, yet I walked into the kitchen to wash my hands before preparing supper. You just assume it should be […]

Living on a farm always has it’s challenges. Old farm houses always seem to need repair of some kind and today is no exception to the rule. This morning I ordered a new front door and this afternoon we are without water.

Soup Dejour
Sometimes I get in the mood for soup and it doesn’t matter if it’s hot or not. Luckily for us we have had some rain (1 1/2 inches) and a few dreary days to boot, which in my opinion is a wonderful time for soup. So I made a mess, threw together what I had […]

I have worked the last two years for our local Post Office, every Saturday with little time other than filling in for vacations and last week was my final week of work. I loved the job, but it didn’t pay well, no benefits, and no hours (I was only guaranteed 2) plus it got in the way of […]

As I said in my last post harvest has begun at 12 happy chickens. We have been eating corn to the point of being sick of it, so it was time to start freezing what we could. For the first time ever husband offered to pick corn while I got the kitchen ready for freezing […]
