It hit my local book store today…Handmade Home, the newest book by Amanda Blake-Soule, Soule Mama. I wanted to see it before I bought it so I didn't go the "pre-order on Amazon route", which made it so I had to wait until it hit stores, but I did decide it needed to come home. [...]

I would love to journal. I think the concept is fabulous. Jotting down your thoughts, feelings, the events of the day, creating a personal history. It is very intriguing to me, but I never follow through. No matter how cute the journal, how nicely the pen writes (I'm a big fan of a good pen), [...]

Husband found this online, and for some reason decided to send it to me…hmmm. I am afraid that much of this week will be spent on taxes. I started today, and realized my bank changed the statement layout a few months back, making it a lot more work for me to find the data I [...]

I spent a lot of time in the kitchen today. I am not really much of a cook, not that the food I make doesn't taste good, it usually does, but to get the timing and organization for a meal to be on the table at supper time, well it rarely works well. If I [...]

This is going to be a long post, so go ahead and get a tasty beverage, and listen to all the news and gossip of the day. Today was the first day of the town farmer’s market. It was a little slow, but that’s expected for the first day, in the beginning of the season. [...]

Dad and I worked on the coop again today. While working we smelled smoke. We didn’t see any smoke, but it smelled like wood burning. We figured someone was burning brush in their yard, commented about how it seemed to dry to get burn permits. But in rural NH, people don’t always drive down to [...]

Today was beautiful and we were all home, so it was the perfect time to get the plants in the ground, and plant seeds. That is what we did all day! It has been determined that I was over zealous with my seed starting. That’s fine. I’ll own that statement. I decided that my seedlings [...]

The next generation has started, adding to her legacy 6 great grandchildren. She was a nurse for 40 years. Her funeral is on Friday and [...]

My friend Ellen has a front loading washing machine. You are supposed to let those air out between uses, or you can have mold grown in the trapped moisture. She asked if I could make something decorative to keep the door from shutting all the way, as the little plastic measuring cup she uses now, [...]
