Traditional 4th of July Pie
I’ve been making this pie almost every 4th of July now for several years. I think I missed last year so it better be extra good this year to make up for it. Start with enough dough for a two crust pie. Roll out half of the dough and place it in a 9 inch […]
Fitness Friday: New Bathing Suit
In other words, I hope all this working out is working! I bought myself a new bathing suit since we’re heading to the beach for the weekend. Eying myself up in the mirror I want to say that I can see a difference from 3 weeks ago. My abs have a hint of an indentation […]
Brian’s Project: A Tractor Post
“So… since you’re always looking for interesting pictures for your blog, you should come outside and bring your camera” says my husband when I arrived home last night. “Is everything alright!?” I said, a little worried.

A Year’s Worth of Strawberries
We met at our favorite berry farm just after 8 AM and started picking. 30 pounds of strawberries later we headed for home. My Mom hulled all those berries while my sister and I went to Meijer for more pectin.

Cut Off From the World
Okay, I don’t consider myself to be very high tech. I haven’t used my ipod in 6 months and I refuse to text message. However, today I felt so cut off from the world it was scary, and I was having major withdrawals. Our internet is only working off and on so if I’m missing […]
Herbs and Our Front Porch
I picked up some herbs from two different places lately and finally planted them today. The planter boxes are something that my Dad was getting rid of. I think he made them from old deck lumber. I painted over the brown paint so they now match our porch. There were already drain holes drilled in […]
A Good Day
I’ve really been enjoying life this week. Here are some of the highlights: I fed the chickens in the rain and felt so proud and content standing in the rain watching them huddle together in the nice dry shelter that Brian and I built. They are getting big! I came in the house and appreciated […]
