On Monday Eowyn when to her first “Friend Birthday Party”. She gifted a handmade doll that we made together…or more I made, and we stuffed together, [...]

Today was one of the most peaceful days I’ve had in a while, and it was very much needed. I think one of the keys was time spent wandering around our little farm yard. Just checking in on everyone, with the sun shining, birds singing, ducks squawking, chickens announcing that they just laid and egg. [...]

I really never thought that I would ever say, “I am in a rut with my rabbit, and need to change it up.”. I hadn’t even eaten rabbit until last year sometime…okay, maybe as a little girl I had wild rabbit, once. But it’s one of the family favorites, and Istra’s hands down favorite. I [...]

Today was beautiful! The weather was so inviting. I worked outside in my nice wool sweater and was very comfortable. I pulled the plastic off the winter growing bed, and removed the sadly abused leeks. The flavor of the remaining stumps is amazing and the soup I made with it for dinner tonight was superb, [...]

My family caught our first bad cold of the Winter. We all go it, to varying degrees. I am happy to say that herbal remedies and lots of Elderberry syrup was all it took to get through it, but the staggering of sickness had us off our game for over a week. Glad to say [...]

It's a sad state of affairs, really. There is a little fabric store in Manchester that is stocked with bolt ends from NY. In years past, it and it's predecessor, Lavine's, were bursting with all kinds of amazing fabrics, so many it was hard to narrow the pile. It's still a great place, don't get [...]

My grandparents spend their winter's in Florida now, and Gram didn't want to wait until the end of December to make the trip. For this reason, this year, that side of the family celebrated Thanksmas. We enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner, followed by the family Christmas gift swap, followed by Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner, including fried stuffing! [...]

Oh, my! Life has been rough, these past few days. I caught some sort of cold that would not let go. Soar throat, stuffed head, headache, cough that pulled stomach muscles, and kept going, creating much pain. I couldn't even get out of my own way, and any moving around sent me into a coughing [...]

I'm knee deep in canning and butchering season, but my kids still need clothes. While some might say "Just go buy some". I really can't do that. I just can't bring myself to. I've been sort of spoiled with how my girls have grown, they just keep getting taller, but not wider, so the clothes [...]

I'm very tired today. Not sure why, but I woke up quite early, and couldn't go back to sleep, despite the tired feeling that I was experiencing. I bit the bullet and started my day. I never shook the tired feeling, and by the time I got the girls to bed, I was ready for [...]
