Welcome to Wednesday Windings–a {LINK UP} for anything crafty or creative that you’ve been up to lately! I hope you’ll join us by linking up your project or blog post over on the left sidebar! This week I’ve been busy working on my memory album and whipping out our end of the month cards (I [...]

I don’t have much time to write, but didn’t want to leave you hanging! Things are moving right along around here. We got the call at 5:45 am the other day. From the Post Office. We rushed out the door 45 minutes early… …To collect our much anticipated box! These will be new layers for [...]

I don’t know about you, but we had a drippy, return-to-November weekend around here. Yuck! Nothing Spring-ish or sun-shiny and bright, oh now. We had cold, drizzly, gloom. Luckily we had company this weekend to join us for family movie night and help run through some weekend chores. Saturday I got to talk crafting with [...]

I posted yesterday about how Speedracer seems to spend an awful lot of time watching everyone else working and how I should probably start working on this loafing mentality of his. So we decided to start giving him some bigger chores–some stuff we thought he could start doing independently–not just “go help your sister.” The [...]

So I wrote last week about the way our animal tagging system practically requires calculus to figure out! And the natural question is why in the world go through all that instead of just giving them names?!! Well, the fact is that we’re not just running these animals for meat and wool. We’re working with [...]

Around here “stay home days” can get pretty busy pretty fast. This weekend we covered a lot of ground. Literally. We got our strawberries and broccoli planted, weeded the flower beds, and dug our baby asparagus plants out from under a season’s worth of dried up wire grass. We checked up on everything we’ve got [...]

…gave birth to #5A and #5B, who are also known as #6 and #7… …Following me? I’m guessing not. Our kiddos are definitely confused. All of our sheep are tattooed inside their ears for permanent identification with the Breed Registry. The tattoo number include a farm code (we’re TLF for “The Lowe Farm”) a year [...]
