The Farm-seedy sunday

Just a little picture update on the seedlings plants the last couple weeks. I will be starting more flower seeds this afternoon♡

Old Houses – Homemade Vinegars

Homesteading is in my mind quite rewarding. It’s like minded thoughts and goals and like a big family. In being part of that community we learn new skills from each other which is so cool. So I am learning a new skill in my fermenting chapter this week. I have watched a few friends onlineContinue reading “Old Houses – Homemade Vinegars”

The Farm – revamping my veggie beds…. perhaps a little whimsical

For anyone that knows me being a tad whimsical in the garden this year might be exactly who I am. The veggie beds have always been very structured because I market garden farm. But since my illness last year that really made me sit back and do hardly anything all season and really put thingsContinue reading “The Farm – revamping my veggie beds…. perhaps a little whimsical”

Old Houses – homemade sausages

I did do a blog a little while ago about my homemade sausage patties… I had a few questions about so I thought I would revisit the topic with a more detailed post. So I bought this around two pork sirloin rib roasts, they were on sale $1.88 a pound…. pretty good price. I cutContinue reading “Old Houses – homemade sausages”

The House – what was old has New life

Part of the old house renos is peeling back years of paints and stains on the original doors of the house. So since we put in the new bathroom upstairs we have had a curtain and rod for a door…. then we graduated to an old used piece of thin plywood….. since it’s just theContinue reading “The House – what was old has New life”

The Farm – more seeds planted

I was able to sit down again and start more seeds. It has been a very difficult week but we are trying to press forward. Seeds need to be planted so veggies and flowers will grow. I sat down…. and I started… I got my heart into it. So I got 2 flats of earlyContinue reading “The Farm – more seeds planted”

Old Houses – Saurkraut

We love saurkraut and there is nothing better than making and eating your own fermented kraft. This batch that I have made is just a plain kraut this time around. You can make all kinds of variations: spicy, purple, tangy sweet, fall themed … etc. It’s so easy to make, the health benefits are awesomeContinue reading “Old Houses – Saurkraut”

Muddy Boots Old Houses and the Farm – how do you say goodbye

We had to say goodbye to our beloved Murdoch today…. he went downhill even more from yesterday. So we decided to have a nice morning together with him, hugging him and whispering all our love to him as we lay on the floor. Then when we gathered all our courage and we carried Murdoch outContinue reading “Muddy Boots Old Houses and the Farm – how do you say goodbye”

Muddy Boots Old Houses and the Farm – words cannot express our feelings

My post tonight is one that we knew is coming….. we didn’t know exactly how much time he has left but yes the days are numbered…… it has been the most difficult two days but has also been the most difficult bunch of weeks. He made his way into my heart and my life atContinue reading “Muddy Boots Old Houses and the Farm – words cannot express our feelings”

Muddy Boots – Faith, fellowship

Fellowship, hospitality, friendship, learning, Proverbs 31 talks about not only a noble wife but a noble woman. How do we learn to be noble women? What does it mean to share hospitality amongst friends and strangers? What does it mean to have friends, friends of different ages? I have a couple of ladies that IContinue reading “Muddy Boots – Faith, fellowship”
