Blueberry Pie Filling
Note: I’ve followed this recipe for 2 years in a row now with excellent results. The key is to just warm the berries. Don’t let them cook too long or they will lose their shape. This is the way I made my filling. It was a lot less work than the Ball canning book called […]
If You’d Like It To Frost In June…
Just plant the majority of your tomato plants. Go ahead… sorry I don’t have time to help you, I’m too busy covering my garden with a thick layer of straw!! 😉
Oh my goodness…
I can’t help it, I have to share my favorite new song with you. Jason Aldean has managed to make a song about tractors the sexiest, steamiest thing I’ve heard in a while. It is amazing and I can’t stop listening to it! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hsuK93W_4U&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00] What’s your favorite new song?
My Mom
My Mom is the best. She is why I am the way I am, or at least a big part of why. She is why I knit. She is why I can sew (a little bit). She is why I make homemade laundry soap. She let me raise chickens for FFA in her basement even […]
A New Forum…

Lamb #2 !!!
Look what I found this morning! Lily, one of the first two lambs we brought to the farm, now has her own lamb. This one is a ewe lamb, and she is jet black. I thought the other baby was black but she is more like gray compared to this little girl. Who knew!? I’m […]
Knitting Fun
My Mom, knitting happilyJust thought I’d share a few pictures from that sock knitting class we took. Last Saturday was the last of 3 sessions. We were all sad that it was over! We all had our socks finished or almost finished and felt confident enough to start another pair on our own. I’ve already […]
Ham: It’s What’s For Dinner
Since pig raising has fallen to the bottom of our list after getting our own lambs to market and raising broilers, we still buy ham from the store. Brian goes once week to the local meat market and gets lunch meat. A lot of their meat comes from local raisers so it is nice place […]
Jen-a
Not much of a post, but here is something I just thought of. Over at Farmer’s Daughter they are talking about naming a horse. How exciting, by the way! Anyway this got me to thinking – I’ve never clarified how to say my name. I was forever being called Jean-a by substitute teachers so some […]
Euthanasia and Eagles
This was brought to my attention last night at a chapter meeting of the Michigan Vet. Med. Association. Apparently there is a link between the improper disposal of euthanized pets and the death of eagles and other wildlife that may consume the pets later on. At the same time there comes the proposal of Davie’s […]
