It’s funny how life can change in a blink of an eye. One minute your pushing soap at anyone and everyone who will look, listen, and sniff. The next your packing up a peterbilt with your name on the door and pulling out of the yard for destinations unknown.
OK, so I haven’t left yet. I […]

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 […]

Yesterday was the day we went to Sioux Falls to have husbands skin cancer taken off his nose. We left our house at 5am so we had a bit of time just in case. Our appointment was at 7:45am and we arrived around 7 so I had just enough time to get some food in […]

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 […]

I have froze about 15 quart bags of pumpkin and just […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
