I have decided to name the spider in the window Hector. Spoken with a bit of a uh… accent, Spanish or French take your pick. 😉 I figured since the creature will be there till Spring, I may as well get acquainted. Though don’t expect me to show any mercy when that plastic comes off …

A trip to get goats
Pretty sure I never actually blogged about our trip to get the Ladies. These goats are amazing and come from REALLY good (read champion) blood lines. Since they are dairy goats that means that they are bred for maximum milk production qualities. We were even sent home with several of Polka’s blue ribbons that she’s …
Thanksgiving 2014
I’ve been thinking about what Thanksgiving is going to look like next year. Now that is forward thinking. 😉 Usually I don’t think about Thanksgiving or it’s fixin’s till I’m nearly in a state of panic the week before! Ha! But I have been thinking about next year because as I picked up the “fixin’s” …
A Post About Goats
Ya know how I talked about having that “moment” when a new addition to the family finally kinda clicks in and everything assumes a new normal? Well, I was of course referring to babies, but it kinda applies to our hoofed additions as well. The Ladies. Polka And Polly We haven’t had that moment yet …
Butter Wrapper
Don’t toss that butter wrapper!! You ARE using butter and not that completely fake, really bad for you, disgusting imposter stuff known as margarine, right? 😉 If not… do so. Please! Thank you! Anyway, this was a tip that I picked up a loooong time ago when I was reading up on the Great Depression. …
I miss my quilt
There was this incredibly ugly quilt that I just loved! It’s one of those old fashioned kind that are made out of a menagerie of fabrics with no rhyme or reason to the pattern, and one piece of ugly red fabric with scary looking clowns with balloons for the back. 🙂 It had little tufts …
The more ya know…
Ignorance is bliss. People say that all the time but have you ever stopped to think about what it really means? I used to wonder about the phrase as a kid. Why in the world would being ignorant be blissful? I kind of reveled in knowledge, as long as it had nothing to do with …
I think we can!!
We are gunning to have the goats in their home by Saturday evening!! This weekend the nighttime temps are supposed to drop pretty low, so we are shooting for having the Ladies in their own dry, quiet, peaceful and insulated space before all that happens. It is calm and quiet up there at the barn. …
A Post About Chickens
Well, we’re down to a flock of 10. *sigh* We are learning about this whole process. Still no definitive answer on the puppy. My gut says that he’s going to have to go, but I still hang on to a sliver of hope that he’ll learn to leave them alone. But back to chickens… I’ve …
Bed Bumper
I’m starting a “tips” category on the blog, just for fun. 🙂 Likely most of my tips are common sense stuff that I should have known about before I had the “voila!” moment, but maybe one will come in handy to someone someday. 😉 Today’s tip is about “big kid” beds! When our boys moved …
