We decided to start composting when we moved in here, figuring we could use the compost in our garden and improve our soil through compost. Through a little research, we realized that one of the best ways to create quality compost was to use worms. And that DIY worm farming is much easier than it…
It’s hard to believe it, but the pretty little girl who has made herself the center of our world, is two years old today! This crazy dog has taken over our lives and our home, and now she’s a great big adult! Well, at least an older puppy! When we brought her home at 3…
So, last Sunday was a beautiful winter day. One of those sunny, crisp, cold days that are just gorgeous, and while intensely brisk, also make you start to anticipate spring and all its possibilities. Mike and I started the day with some planning for how we can expand the chicken run and get them more…
This week has been a tough one. A family member lost her mom and a friend lost his father in law. Followed by the national news of the helicopter crash which took the life of Kobe Bryant and his daughter. I’m not a huge basketball fan, nor was I specifically a fan of his, but…
Well, it turns out the forecast wasn’t wrong! We’ve had multiple snow events now this week. The region was blanketed with snow, starting Sunday night, but we didn’t get any at our house. However, first thing Monday morning, the snow started falling and we got a decent amount. The day warmed up though, and it…
Something that starts with “S”! Is that a snowflake in the forecast for this weekend? Oh yes it is! And believe me, this region is already starting to freak out!

Way back when we knew we were going to move, we decided that we would need a utility trailer to use around the property, so we started looking for a used one. Pretty soon we found a great deal on a heavy duty, dual-axel trailer. And since the shop has a carport, we have a…
AKA Realizing we have a run built for hobbits! So, one of the perks of our new place was the fact that it already has a chicken coop and run built, eliminating the need for us to have to sink time and money into building one. Awesome, right? Well, they say you should never count…
Welcome to my new blog! I started writing this with no real idea of who I was writing for, or why, it’s kind of developed a voice as I’ve gone along. I think part of it was about just wanting to get some thoughts on “paper” and out of my head, and part of it…
And the start of the new “Roaring 20’s” is here! I’m excited to welcome this new year and see what it brings us. I’m very optimistic about my own health, and mental health this year. I feel that I’m in a much better place now, than I have been in a long time, and I’m…
