So many things to do in the fall, and some of them are just for fun. Weather predicting with persimmons is one thing I have been introduced to recently by Patara with Appalachia’s Homestead. Apparently if there are spoons (or shovels), it means there will be a lot of snow. So I cut open a persimmon, […]
I am so glad that my husband takes the time to ask, “What are you going to do today?” I really appreciate it when he seems interested in the time we spend apart. He gets so busy sometimes and his head is so full of his agenda. . .Today when he asked, I started looking […]
The harvest continues. The tomatoes have been coming in like crazy and we have put up 31 quarts of spaghetti sauce and 15 quarts of tomatoes with green chilies. We are picking green beans as they come along (slim pickings as the rabbits helped themselves first to the plants) and canning them along with the […]
So much has been happening! We are harvesting blueberries, blackberries, goji berries, raspberries, strawberries, string beans, beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, red clover blossoms, mint, so many things I can’t even remember them all! So far we have put up 45 quarts of beets. We’ve eaten string beans and put up 1 quart while processing beets. […]
Just a quick tour of our finished (?) travel trailer. Yes, I need to learn skills in videography. LOL. Anyway, I will never think it is quite finished so I thought I would film it, rather than wait forever. Enjoy.
The garden is well on it’s way. We have had generous helpings of rain, and the growth has been good. My husband has done a great job with whipping it into shape with a little help from his apprentice (me). We are starting to be able to harvest green beans, beet greens, and we have […]
Today we were successful in many things. Our beautiful duck house floats! Yay! First fear vanquished. When I went online to look at duck houses and what I would want for a duck house, I was surprised to see that they cost between $1400 and over $2,000. We made this one from scraps in our […]
Wow! We took the Travel Trailer out for a spin to celebrate our anniversary. So many things worked so well, but there are a few things that need tweaking. Loved the new coffee pot that took it’s place on it’s bedroom coffee/wine bar and kept the kitchen counter clean. That beautiful coffee pot just sings. […]
So much is happening, I can tell that it’s Spring! Definitely a lot more farm related projects in the spring! The ducks and chicks have sure grown! As a matter of fact, the ducks have grown so much it has prompted us to think about what is next. So I bought the ducks as I […]
Life is grand! There is not a single other place I would rather quarantine than on our little farm. Currently having a creative project in remodeling our rv is amazing. I love the fireplace area. It is one of my favorite places. Just sitting on the sofa/bed and watching the flames flicker is just so […]
