What a day! Work in the morning, followed by moving a new rabbit hutch from a friend’s house to mine. The structure was originally a chicken coop, but it’s basically a 4×8 box, with hardware cloth floor, wood and chicken wire walls and chicken wire roof, on which sits a piece of plywood. Very basic, [...]

Spring farm work has begun! I took down the growing pen for the chickens by myself, so I can move it somewhere other than under my bedroom window. That was a bad idea, since they start crowing long before they are ready for butchering. The upside to that location was the ease in which I [...]

We have animals. They need water year round. A working faucet near their area seems obviously necessary. Unfortunately, due to the fact that when we moved into this house we were in a completely different stage of life, and that the people who built our house were not folks I would recommend, our faucet doesn’t [...]

I found a very bright yellow dresser at a second hand store, and after a little discussion, paid $22.00 and put it in my car. I'm bad at remember "before" pictures, as I always want to dive in to a new project, but the whole thing was the color of the drawers, and here it [...]

I've wanted to do this for a long time, since I saw it on another blog…but I can't remember which. It was one that I got to in a round about way, one day. Sorry I can't be more specific, but the blogger had a "Music Tree", which she then disassembled and went the wall [...]

I mentioned two things recently. 1) How much I love the "Make and Do" list over at Progressive Pioneer. 2) I had some projects 1/2 done that I wanted to wait to share, until they were done. Inspired by the Make and Do list, I worked on painting a great little yard sale find. Truth [...]

I just realized how far into May we are. The 10 day forecast shows great weather, so the time for serious planting has begun! I was in the garden most of the day today, and it feels so good. The Herb garden is very exciting. I have never had an herb garden, because so many [...]
