The Ewes Have A Date…
Today we took our flock of 7 ewes and ewe lambs to meet their new boyfriends. We split them up over 3 different rams based on who would best compliment each one’s physical features. The stocky, big ewes went in with stylish, finer boned rams and vice versa. It made for a long day since […]
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 […]
Gone To The Dogs
I started working on curtains for the living room last night. I left the fabric all spread out after getting sidetracked with the frost warning. This morning I found this… Which quickly turned in to a belly up “I’m sorry Mom but I’m wagging my tail and I’m cute” pose… I think it is safe […]
Sewing with Mom
My Mom was nice enough to drive out for a visit on Sunday. We spent the day sewing a new scrub top for me. I bought the pattern and the fabric a while ago but wasn’t sure how to cut out the pieces. I have made curtains and even pajamas but this top was by […]

Git ‘Er Done Update
I got quite a bit done during the week to make up for not doing much last weekend. We had a nice day where I opened up all the windows and stained a new batch of trim in the basement. Then I took advantage of the nice weather this weekend and took all that trim […]
I Painted My Fridge!
After 1 coatYou guessed it – this is part of my Git ‘Er Done 2009 project! I was sick of looking at it, and a new one certainly wasn’t in the budget. We got a new stainless steel & black stove in the fall so the dingy yellowish white fridge was sticking out like a […]
Git ‘Er Done 2009
As many of you know, Brian & I bought his family’s farm around Labor Day of 2007. We’ve been working on the house and yard since the early spring of that year, even before we bought it. Things are far from finished as we start 2009, and I don’t want to deal with this again […]
This is why…
…I’m glad that new dog bed cover only cost me $1. This is also why we needed a new cover in the first place. Once every few months the “puppy”, now 1 1/2 years old, feels the need to destroy something. Bitter apple spray seemed to stop her from chewing up the bed at night. […]
Thrift Store Finds
There is a brand new Goodwill store in my town, and I love it! First let me tell you about my breadmaker. It came from Brian’s family’s basement and was purchased over 20 years ago. It hadn’t been used in about 17 years until I got it. I used it almost every day for a […]
