Day in the Life: Part 2
5:45 PM: Still peeling apples! I’ve got a full load (7 quarts) processing and lots to go. I’ve been doing some here and there and want them DONE. Of course I’ve taken a few breaks. I read all 3 parts of the “how we came to be” story over at Who Says 8 is Enough? […]
A Day in the Life: Part 1
Hopefully this will be about as typical of a Saturday as we have around here so I thought I’d share “a day in the life”. 7 AM: Brian’s up, I say, “Are you staying up already?”. Dumb question! 7:15 AM: I’m up now too. Might as well start a loaf of bread. After over a […]
Still here…
I don’t have much in particular to post about. I just wanted to put it out there that I’m still here! I had posts all ready in my head for the past week and never got around to any of them. The menu plan was a bust. Brian has been so busy that I ended […]

Why would you want to be so busy?
I saw my Mom today and she was telling the ladies at our knitting group how busy I am. Like crazy busy. I guess she’s right, and I probably do tell people I am busy a lot, but it still surprised me to hear her say it. When I was in high school I was […]
Taking the Sheep
I didn’t mean to be “away” so long. I spent my day off trying to help my cousin out with her new baby. It went pretty well but that on top of not sleeping well the night before I had to take the sheep in means I’ve been very tired! I’ve got a knitting class […]
I Admit It…I’m A Softie
I went to college with a bunch of animal loving vegetarians. “How can you eat your animals!?” they would ask. My response? I’m not ready to stop eating meat so the next best thing I can do is make sure the animals I eat have the best life possible and that their lives are ended […]

This is my post for the Harvest of Friends blog party hosted by Lynnette Kraft over at Dancing Barefoot on Weathered Ground. Lynnette has come up with the following 20 questions so that we can get to know each other better. I thought it would be fun to try to answer all 20 so here […]
Preparing for Winter: Outside
I told myself I was going to “take the day off” and relax completely. Yeah right! 😛 I did some lounging around the house this morning, then we went to see my cousin’s new baby. He’s such a cutie and so tiny! While we were “in the city” (we’re such hicks) we stocked up on […]
