God is working
I’m not going to thump my Bible or anything, and I’m not sure that I have ever even mentioned religion or God here before (not sure on this). I’m not even going to go in to the whole topic very much now. That being said, God is working in our life in a big way. […]
Farm Widow?
This is the time of year that truly defines a farmer’s wife. Getting through the 3 months of harvest season says more about a marriage than the other 9 months put together, IMO. It started here today. If you haven’t married a farmer like me it might help you to think of harvesting like deer […]
Menu Plan Monday
I have been doing menu plans steadily for the last 4 weeks, I just haven’t been posting them. I made myself up a handy template and plan for 2 weeks at a time now. I’ll just share one week here to keep the suspense going. 😛 Monday: Grilled Cheese with potato balls (potato balls are […]

The Best Gift
As I was putting fresh sheets on the bed tonight I realized how much I enjoy our heated blanket. We get so much use out of it, relying on it every night from October until May. It was a gift from my Mom a few years ago. Our blanket is the type that has two […]
Around the farm
Welcome to my new “home” on the web! I’d love some feedback on the new look – good, bad, or indifferent. I know it has been awhile so here’s a look at what’s going on around the farm… Since the ewes are off being bred and the one ram lamb died the last little ram […]
The Bottomless Bucket of Tomatoes (sigh)
It may never end! Okay, maybe it will, but I’m afraid it won’t be this weekend. A batch of spaghetti sauce with meat calls for 30# of tomatoes. I already used approximately 30# from our garden and got 12 pints out of it instead of the 9 that the book says. I have enough left […]

Overhauling your Calendar? Whatever you do to ready your Home and Hearth for the new season, we want to know about it at Hoosier Homemade where Liz […]
If I’m Not Here…
If I’m missing it will be because our computer got a virus last night. Hopefully it will be fixed tonight and back to me tomorrow but if I’m gone for awhile, that’s why. So long for now!
NO Knitting Allowed :(
Warning: Lots of whining ahead… I’m sure I’m not the only one who always feel even more stressed than normal just before a vacation. We still have a list a mile long of things that NEED to be done before we go even though we’ve been cracking away at it all week. Okay I say […]
