One thing I have been doing the last couple of years is switch our living around to a more healthful way. Happily I am down to a couple of cleaners for our home and my soap shop. I use Seventh Generation and borax to clean just about everything I have in our household, getting rid […]

They all go together right? I saw that Connie had a few pictures of the Sundog she caught on her camera and remembered I had taken a few that day as well. We only live about an hour and a half away from each other so I figure great minds think alike or they just […]

You can still have greens to eat during the winter months, if you’re patient. I’m not very patient, but I just can’t stop looking longingly at my empty garden, wishing I could take my morning walk out to grab what I need to make a fresh egg scramble for breakfast or a nice fresh salad […]

So, here I am a few days slack of writing and I still have nothing….Just a plain ol blank page staring at me. So, as usual lots have went on, but nothing that leaps from my brain, to my fingers, to the key board. Right now I’m baking muffins, so I figured I’d share something […]

Hopefully the next post will catch you up on what has been going on with farm life. When my ducks flew the coop and how my chickens are happy to be only chickens, how many tomatoes & peaches I canned, beans dried, watermelon picked, corn, beans, and beets frozen along with everything else that has been […]

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.
