This farming thing just got real, folks. I signed today on 10 acres and a big building (electric! cement floor!) that I'm going to turn into a barn and raw milk herdshare operation. I will officially own it in a little over five years. Right now I own about a sixth of it until it's … Continue reading I DID IT!!!

Elf Antics – Days 13 and 14
Day 13 found Elfie and Elfis riding two wooden horse ornaments. Day 14 is today. Jake got up early, and the elves hadn't moved! He said, "They're probably just tired today!" He decided to take them to the Christmas Concert at the local school. It looks like Elfie, Elfis, Creeper, and Steve are having fun … Continue reading Elf Antics – Days 13 and 14

Missing that Norman Rockwell life…
When I was little, we always had Sunday dinners at Mammaw Hazel's or Gramma Izzie's. We alternated back and forth each week because my parents wanted to be sure we were fair to both of their mothers. Going to Mammaw's meant a platter of fried chicken (purchased live on Friday and butchered on Saturday at … Continue reading Missing that Norman Rockwell life…

Elf Antics – Days 10 and 11
Day 10 - no pics. Jake and his cousin, Harley, found Elfis and Elfie hanging out in the fridge because they missed the North Pole. Jake was distressed because they were "going to freeze to death"!

Good morning to my sunshine
Even on a dreary day, Bessie makes me feel like I've won a million bucks. Bessie and the Terrible Twosome are successfully clearing the church driveway ditchline. Who knew that goats and a cow are better than a weedeater???

Elf Antics – Day 7
Having these old is teaching me a lot about my child that I didn't know. He always runs to the kitchen every morning to see what they've done in the night. On day 7, Elfie and Elfis took Creeper hostage! Steve was there with the ransom already. Jake was pretty mad. I didn't realize he … Continue reading Elf Antics – Day 7

Elf Antics – Day 6
This morning, Elfie and Elfis were inside the big box of oranges we bought from our local high school band. Jake ran away with them before I could get a picture. Later today, he caught them in the Christmas tree, helping the branches open up so we could decorate it. A few minutes ago, Elfis … Continue reading Elf Antics – Day 6
