Spaghetti sauce (oh so easy!)
My mother-in-law and father-in-law brought me a box of tomatoes from down on the river over a week ago. The box has been setting on my kitchen table the entire week. I felt guilty every time I looked at it, knowing that the tomatoes were going to get so ripe if I didn't do something … Continue reading Spaghetti sauce (oh so easy!)

Favorite past time
We're cleaning the chicken coop right now, and we're past the physical part I do... ..so I corralled the gang out of the coop into a small area so they would be out from underfoot but still have a birds eye view (Ha!) of all the action.

Today’s to do list
Ted put up six round bales of hay. I didn't get any pictures because I stayed home and CLEANED for four hours! Here's the table. The rest of the two rooms looked just as bad! I tackled the living room and kitchen: put away all of the clutter, moved furniture, swept, mopped, did all of … Continue reading Today’s to do list

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!

A little spray paint makes a big difference!
Last week, I grabbed the spray paint and headed outside to work on some yard furniture. Gramma Izzie gave me this little table and chairs set when she got a new set for her back patio, and I've had it for over a year and meant to paint it but just never got around to … Continue reading A little spray paint makes a big difference!

Getting in the hay
We started getting in our round bales for the winter. This is the way to do it - freshly baled, straight from the field! Now we just need to put by 21 more bales...

Getting healthier (a work in progress)
When I went to the doctor last week on August 1st, I was very unhappy with the reading on the scales. VERY UNHAPPY!!!! I knew I'd gained some weight because my foot just HURT horribly for months, but I didn't realize how much. There's something about elastic waist shorts that let you think you're still … Continue reading Getting healthier (a work in progress)
