Well, we’ve started the blog for our ranch. 🙂 I’ll be moving all of my “homesteading” posts over there. So if you’re interested in the “Views from the farm” and updates on chicken and goats and so forth, you can join us there. 🙂 Eventually I hope to post tutorials on real food eating, cheese …

Springtime!!
Just kidding! It’s still January. 😉 But the day time weather has been really nice lately! Today I actually sat outside on a bench and soaked in a little sunshine with nary a jacket! Wow! It just “felt” springy. Minus the hurricane force winds that like to hang around when it’s really Spring. I’m always …
A Sunday Date
Last Sunday Stuart and I escaped from the land of being parents by ditching all our kids to go to church without them! 🙂 Stu’s mom was kind enough to hang out with them, so no worries, they weren’t on their own. 😉 At one point during the day Stuart said, “Who would have thought …
A Good Monday
Sounds impossible right? But after a rather chaotic weekend, today I actually feel pretty accomplished! Sleep last night was less than stellar so I felt like it was going to be a rough go from the very beginning. However, my head cleared a bit while I was doing “chores” outside for the animals. 🙂 And …
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” …
What I did today and other randomness
THIS is what I did today! The thought suddenly occurred to me the other day that hay is “in” now and that I should probably get some to last our little goaties through the winter before the people who horde it jack up the prices for poor newbie people like moi who have no clue …
Baby Cereal, Mmm Good!
Well I’ve been putting off introducing the gals to cereal. I keep thinking that I have “extra” time for things since they were preemies and all. They however, don’t seem to realize or remember that they should be “behind” and so I finally caved in and got them some organic cereal before they drink us …
Just a Happy Hike
The other day the 5 of us went for a little hike around the house looking for something that didn’t end up being lost. 🙂 So that was good, and either way it was fun to get outside together and move around a bit. There are some pretty good views of the sunset up where …
The Little Invisible Barn
Isn’t it beautiful!?! 🙂 Ha ha! We have t-minus 2.5 weeks to have it up and ready for our little goaties! Nooooooooooooo problem! 😉 Stu has the plans AND the experience with building this same style structure since he got the greenhouse done. I spent about an hour this afternoon on the hill with a …
The Pit of Despair
So I asked a question on FB this week about the age appropriateness, or more specifically the language content of the movie “The Princess Bride.” Typically, this isn’t an issue for me as I have a remarkable “movie memory” but for some reason I couldn’t remember this particular one that well. At least I couldn’t …
