Time to Garden
Our weather has had me questioning when to plant my cool weather crops. We had a colder then normal winter with many feet of snow. Our winter has only been followed by a cooler than normal spring. Although we are expecting a nice warm weekend, we will be back to below normal temperatures again nextContinue reading “Time to Garden”
Overwhelmed
I’m feeling overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by all the painting that still needs to happen in my house. Overwhelmed by the amount of “stuff” that we’ve accumulated over the years. Overwhelmed by the amount of yard work that needs to be done. Overwhelmed by the amount of spring cleaning I have to do. So how does oneContinue reading “Overwhelmed”
Back in Business
After a couple of days of some wonderful tinctures made by my friend Katie at The Garden Fairy Apothecary, I am feeling considerably better. Last time I started using her tinctures at the first sign of getting sick and didn’t get sick at all. This time I waited too long, but with hours of taking my first doseContinue reading “Back in Business”

Yet this is our realty, which makes it difficult to expand ourContinue reading “We’re Expanding”
A Crazy Plan
A couple of weeks ago I wrote Planning a New Plan. We had spent 1 1/2 years trying to come up with the perfect homestead plan, but weren’t making any measurable progress in getting there. The time had come to re-evaluate and create a new plan and that’s what we have done. Now, some mayContinue reading “A Crazy Plan”
There is Snow on the Ground
But it’s spring in our house. I ordered and received our seeds a few weeks ago and we were ready to get our seedlings started. Lili, hubby and I carefully planted tomato, tomatillo and pepper seeds in their little pots and under the lights they went. Last year was our first attempt at starting our own seedlingsContinue reading “There is Snow on the Ground”

For the last 18 months, we have been in planning mode. Planning a change of job for hubby; planning the sell of our house; planning the purchase of property; planning our move to the country; planning for animals; planning for outbuildings; planning . . . . planning . . . . planning . . . .
