I am soooo excited to do this!!! This app is super easy to use. When I opened it, this is … Continue reading Book catalogue

Happy dogs
DG and Puppers love romping in the snow every morning for about thirty minutes. Then they're done, and they just want to bask in front of the fireplace the rest of the day... ...and steal scarf beg for eat snacks because...well, you know, SNACKS! LOL Yum!

Baby, it’s cold outside!
Ted insisted on shoveling the sidewalk and plowing the driveway (although that didn't happen because the battery was out on the tractor), and Jake insisted on playing in the snow. They're nuts! I put by two weeks of groceries, the fireplaces are roaring, and we have Netflix and a popcorn machine. I already did the … Continue reading Baby, it’s cold outside!

Snowpocalypse
Everybody was tagging snowpocalypse last night on Facebook and Twitter (at least it seemed that way to me). I'm not sure how others fared nearby, but here's the results of the winter storm here at Striving Acres. The snow has stopped, and as of 10a.m. this morning, we have a total of 8.25 inches of … Continue reading Snowpocalypse

Nope!
A light drizzling snow started falling this morning. It came down for two hours, and it doesn't show signs of stopping. The roads are covered (not just the back roads but the state routes as well!), and my little farm friends don't like it. See the white hen in the back who is photo bombing … Continue reading Nope!

I used to spend hours at the grocery store, trying to read every label, trying to avoid GMOs, preservatives, and additives. It got a little easier as time went on because I figured out which items were staples for my cart and what I could substitute in recipes for certain ingredients. Then the non GMO … Continue reading Eating healthier becoming easier

Quick and spicy dinner
Ted spent a couple of hours outside in the drizzly cold weather today; he got a hay bale for the cattle, brought a bag of pig feed up for the pigs, fed the chickens (again), slipped the pigs, and raked our driveway, Gramma Izzie's driveway, and the church's driveway with the tractor. He wanted a … Continue reading Quick and spicy dinner

Little explorer
Lucy isn't afraid of anything in the world except party horns (on New Years Eve). She isn't afraid of the dogs; she jumped on a sleeping Puppers and then fought her, standing on her hind legs, all the way across the living room when Puppers let her know she didn't appreciate being woken up so … Continue reading Little explorer

Winter has finally arrived!
...and she came in like a lion here in southern Ohio! Daisy is enjoying watching the falling snow and wild birds (I toss a handful of cracked corn out for them in the backyard to help keep them warm).

They figured it out!
Bitsy and Dixie have been flipping over their feed trough on a daily basis. I didn't think this was such a big deal because pigs like to root, and I just figured they would root around on the ground and eat up the spilled mash. I was completely wrong! They left it on the ground, … Continue reading They figured it out!
