Adding Cattle to our Homestead
When we moved onto our homestead in November 2020, we planned to eventually get cattle. My husband has spent months putting up and repairing fence in hopes of making our dreams a reality. Though we still have another lot to fence in, we felt we were ready and our cattle were delivered on Saturday. Having […]
My Christmas Tree 2021
I decided to go very neutral this year since I am putting my Christmas tree up in my dining room. Neutral with the exception of a few pops of blue. I could not have a tree without my beloved blue. I painted a few pine cones with some white paint, wrapped some with jute, used […]

COYOTES ARE EATING OUR WATERMELONS!
Crows and raccoons will poke holes in the watermelons or just scoop some of the insides out, but coyotes will eat them right down to the rinds. If they decide not to eat them on the spot, they will travel across an 80 acre pasture with them. They bite into them, pick them up, and […]

Cashews & Poison Ivy and what they have in common.
I think somewhere in my life, I have read about how we get cashews. The thing that puzzles me is why I didn’t remember this information.
