Well the winter storm the news had been going on about didn’t really materialize. But we did get a little snow yesterday! It started in the afternoon and by this morning we had 2 inches of fresh snow. Not a storm by a long shot, but pretty. What we have had are frigid temps on the homestead! [...]
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about our garden lately. I guess the spring bug has bit me! LOL While I’m still deciding what to grow and what variety’s I will try this year, my main thoughts are on how to make the work load easier. The last normal garden season I remember was about 6 [...]
I recently came across an interesting idea for keeping chickens in the garden. I’ve had chickens on and off for many years, I know they do a great job of turning the soil and gobbling up nasty bugs. However they will also destroy your garden quickly! Bruce Morgan has come up with a way to tunnel the chickens right to [...]
Now that Christmas has passed or just about if you celebrate the 12 days of Christmas, I thought we would have a final link up for all the projects you couldn’t share before Christmas. Many of us have family reading our blogs and you wouldn’t want them sneaking a peek.

I haven’t been posting as much as I had planed the past few weeks. I’ve been fighting some nasty virus that has been going around. I am winning!! But it packs a nasty punch with dizzy spells and that slows me down a lot. My Aunt and Uncle were over for a visit last week. [...]
I found this on a knitting group and it gave me a chuckle! I hope you enjoy. A Knitters Night before Christmas ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all around me was unfinished knitting not under the tree. The stockings weren’t hung by the chimney with care ‘cause the heels and toes had not a [...]
Welcome everyone to the third link up this year for our Gifts From The Heart ~ A Handmade Christmas blog hop. Sorry for posting this a day latter then I normally would. I had some computer problems, but I’m back! I’m so looking forward to reading all your Christmas posts! Please grab the Christmas button code [...]
I originally posted this little crochet snowman in a Christmas post a few years ago. But as I was making a few of these up the other day, I thought I would give him his own post and do a video to! Gauge really isn’t important with this, but I was using worsted weight yarn [...]
