We haven’t had many beautiful weekends this year. I don’t know about where you live, but in NC it has rained. A lot. I talked about our need for putting in ( a rather emergent) sump pump in my last post due to our standing water. Well this weekend it was b.e.a.utiful! (In the wordsContinue reading “Another weekend, another project”

Rain, rain go away
I don’t know how it is where you live, but in North Carolina it’s been raining for about a year straight! It stopped raining for a month, or so, in the beginning of last summer (ya know, right when my new plants needed rain, so I had to water an acre of garden every day).Continue reading “Rain, rain go away”

Busy winter
Wow, time really does fly when you are having fun! After a busy year, I went into winter thinking it would be a great time for relaxation, reading, and planning for spring.

Pseudo what?
A few months ago we started to prepare our goats for breeding. We have a family friend that has a nice stud buck for us to bring our girls to, but we needed to make sure they were in optimal condition.

We love ice cream
We love ice cream, and milk, and cheese, and butter…. So, logically, we bought a cow. Well….. a heifer. If you had asked me 5 years ago, I would have said a heifer was an angry cow. Not true. Or maybe a heifer was an overweight cow. Also, not true. A heifer is aContinue reading “We love ice cream”

Crazy week ahead
Six months ago, when we brought the Minis home we knew we wanted to show them. We started halter training, we have walked them, washed them, and worked hard on getting them ready. We signed up for 3 shows this fall to get our feet wet, and feel comfortable. Then, fall happened. Which, in NorthContinue reading “Crazy week ahead”

While you were sleeping
Please say you remember this classic from 1995?!?! For those of you that were too young, or just have really horrible taste in movies and didn’t see “While you were sleeping” it’s a movie starring Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. Sandra’s character fakes a relationship with a guy in a coma and while he’s “sleeping”Continue reading “While you were sleeping”

YouTube farmers
I have never been a YouTube junky. I use it for homeschooling, because I can find videos of people singing silly preschool and learning songs that I don’t want to sing, but that’s been all I use it for. That was until we bought the farm. Hubby watches YouTube or buys books anytime we wantsContinue reading “YouTube farmers”
