Oven door cleaning in four minutes

July 31, 2022 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

I saw this in an article on HGTV and decided to give it a try. It works! I am very impressed to be honest. I knew the baking soda and vinegar is a chemical reaction.

Pork time!

July 17, 2022 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

Ted unloading boxes of pork We picked up the pork yesterday from the butcher. We do this every couple of years and yet I am still always shocked at how much meat actually goes into the freezer (it's a LOT). This is the end result of quite a bit of hard work. Removing ice build-up … Continue reading Pork time!

Auction time!

June 29, 2022 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

We went to an estate auction this past weekend, and there were so many neat things there. We drove down a winding little road for at least 20 minutes to get there, and then the road curved around and opened up at a farm at the road's dead-end. A little brick home sat on the … Continue reading Auction time!

She’s tuckered out

June 28, 2022 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

Stella stayed up all night the past two nights and caught one mouse each night for her efforts. All that late night partying has tuckered her out - she's slept all day! She won't budge even when I poke her.

June 19, 2022 / strivingacres / Leave a comment

Last week, we (Ted, Jake, Janeesa, and I) went bowling and ordered takeout. As we were sitting in the parking lot, waiting on our food, Sahara called and frantically told us to get home asap because the storm was coming in and tree limbs were falling on the roads due to high winds. As we … Continue reading When the power goes out
