I don't know about your house, but here it's all Minecraft, Legos, and Spongebob with Jake! When we saw a flyer at our local library for a Minecraft party, we signed up and took his cousin, too.

Bored kids…
Jake and Harley watched a YouTube video about racing bars of soap so of course they had to do it. They tired of that pretty fast, and next thing I knew they decided to wash the windows. LOL They did a pretty good job!

Mommy’s little helper
Saturday afternoon, Jake and I did a little gardening. I taught him about composting the chicken house droppings with leaves and showed him how beautiful the black dirt is that it makes. Then we planted a bleeding heart root and a bunch of zinnia seeds... ...and a whole lot of dandelions!

Progress!
Monday was a great work day for the new coop. The weather was beautiful! The front wall, window, and door frame went in. The door is over 100 years old and solid wood. Dad gave it to me from his stash (in our family, tossing out stuff is like a cardinal sin LOL). Sometimes being … Continue reading Progress!

I have such big dreams for our little farm. I foresee workshops and classes to teach others how to can, make cheese, care for chickens so they can raise their own....in short, one of my biggest hopes is not just to connect people to their food but to convince them that they, too, can be … Continue reading One more step in the right direction
