This past Sunday, we set out through the countryside, down winding narrow roads, over bumpy hills, and up a tiny little dirt road to pick up our newest batch of piglets! Jake was impressed that there was a horse...until the stall door opened, spilling out two large horses and a rather tall mule, all of … Continue reading Piggies again!

Smartcar mileage
I had two gallon (80 miles) left when I parked my car last time. It was drained when I got in the next morning! 258.7 miles ÷ 8.31 gallons = 31.13mpg That made my mileage the worst ever!!! The thief drained my gas for the last time. I'm ordering a locking gas cap today!

Mamma Hazel’s Hoosier Cabinet
When I was growing up, my (pronounced mam-maw) Mamma Hazel always had this cabinet in her kitchen. She kept all sorts of things in it. I remember there were cookie jars, and one was always filled with those Keebler Elf fudge stripe cookies. My cousins and I were allowed to eat as many of those … Continue reading Mamma Hazel’s Hoosier Cabinet

Maybe I messed up
I thought I had two yellow squashes growing in here. Instead, when I traced the great big one back to its vine, it looks like it came from the cucumber plant, and the little yellow one came from the squash plant! Can squash and cucumber cross? I didn't even think about that when I planted … Continue reading Maybe I messed up

Climbers!
Like mother... Like daughter! Luci and Tucker are the world's best climbers! When I pulled back up the driveway this morning after I let Jake out at school, I looked up to see both of these ladies on the roof of the house!

Busy Sunday for Ted!
It took him nearly all day, but he figured it out! I'm so proud of him! He had an audience all day. They're so curious! A little feed kept them away so he could get the fence fixed.

I found goodies!
I went to The Rusted Barn today to pick up Jake's dresser. It's supposed to be beautiful weather this weekend, so I thought I could get it painted and get it into his room before his school starts on Monday morning. While I was there, I had to look at all of Tina's new fall … Continue reading I found goodies!
