Old Houses – Wood Stack

We started on the last wood stack that has been seasoning out in the yard. We wanted to try and get the last 3 cord of wood in the basement. I think that is how much was out there. Knowing that we were gonna have some heavy rain on Sunday as well as we wantedContinue reading “Old Houses – Wood Stack”

Muddy Boots – The fall gardens

It’s funny, it’s been warm still so the garden in some respects is still giving. I picked 2 zucchini squashes today I still have some basil in the herb beds and I picked a whole bunch of other stuff although not all completely. I even noticed that my strawberry plants have flowers and small fruitsContinue reading “Muddy Boots – The fall gardens”

The House – its definitely a gonner

So it’s official, I killed my stove. Too much canning I guess…. when the stove had that exploding noise that was it. If anyone is aware…. its extremely difficult to find appliances etc these days with all the shortages. So I was going to have to settle for a not so great stove just becauseContinue reading “The House – its definitely a gonner”

Old Houses – Simple Recipe

A simple recipe in an effort to boost immunity: I borrowed this from a friend and it’s really good. I hope that you get from it and share it with your tribe. I probably would have said pretty much all of it on my own♡ 1. Don’t eat junk, including sugary drinks, McDonald’s, Velveeta andContinue reading “Old Houses – Simple Recipe”

Muddy Boots – My Tribe

It’s interesting how in these later years of life you find what is of great importance to you. My first part of my married life was trying to fit into my new family that I had married into as well as others that married into my family. My goals, plans or dreams of course wereContinue reading “Muddy Boots – My Tribe”

We started the year with many uncertainties, but He was so good to bring us through. I had some health challenges that began at the beginning of theContinue reading “A Very Blessed Thanksgiving”

The Farm / Old Houses – I think It’s broken😮

I have been cooking a lot lately with all the harvested veggies and fruits from the gardens. Either cooking fruits down to jams, jellies, sauces or pickled, sauced, salsa or blanched veggies. It’s a daily event on the homestead farm I think I almost eat breath sleep it…. lol. So 8 years ago when weContinue reading “The Farm / Old Houses – I think It’s broken😮”

The Farm / Old houses – Cast iron care

I forgot to take before pictures to show you how they all looked but I do have the after pics and they look awesome. Rusty cast ironware…… no problem. All you need to do is take a scouring pad to the pans. Scrub them down really well with hot soapy water and then dry themContinue reading “The Farm / Old houses – Cast iron care”

The Farm – Its a bit shroomy around here

Shroomy, what the heck are ya doing now? Anyone who knows me, knows that I love growing things, bugs(mealworms), seeds, plant cuttings, veggies, flowers….. and yes fungi. I have a fig tree, banana tree, a lemon tree plus house plants and succulents, as well as the big garden and the greenhouse. Not exactly sure whenContinue reading “The Farm – Its a bit shroomy around here”

Old Houses – Hobbies

While at the show I saw a knitting machine, I was soContinue reading “Old Houses – Hobbies”
