Well the cold weather continues on our little homestead. It’s hard to believe that just a few weeks ago it was so hot. As I’m typing this, there are snow flurries falling and a strong east wind. If the weather man is right we might end up with a small covering of snow. If the [...]
Wow has the weather ever changed this past week. We started March off with weather in the 20′s C, truly it felt more like early June weather! Now we are back to near 0 C temps and strong winds. Yesterday we had another wind storm here and our power went out about 7pm. It came [...]
I just can’t believe the wonderful weather! It’s in the high 20′s C here today and tomorrow is suppose to be wonderful as well. If the weatherman is right, we are in for rain on the weekend then it’s back to cooler temps. But really 7 or 8 C is still nice for this time [...]

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.
