We’ve been working sheep a lot lately. Sorting lambs from the breeding stock…sorting healthy from those falling behind…sorting for sale from for keeps… We’ve all being working sheep. It was a little chilly this weekend, but sunny and overall nice. A little muddy from rain on Saturday. I made the crew wear their hats because [...]

We broke out our coats this morning. Not our jackets. Our coats. 47 degrees and rainy. Dark and cloudy. And cold and dreary. Yuck! My guys had to go feed the chickens this morning before school. Speedracer’s asthma is kicking up with the weather change, so the Cowboy went along to help him out since [...]

Did you see the little maple leaf button I added to my left sidebar the other day? I’m going to be doing the Giving Thanks Challenge this year. It’s hosted by Leah at South Breeze Farm, and I came across it from a reader (and friend!), Melissa, who blogs over at Homesteading by Faith. All [...]

We’re heading off for our annual field trip to the Pumpkin Patch soon, and it’s got me thinking about Fall decorations and Thanksgiving! Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions? Besides turkey, ya turkey! {grin} Since losing my parents in 2006, we’re still trying to feel out our very own, family holidays. Last year we had a [...]

My daughter is a magnet for lost, furry four-foots. She feeds the outside cats once a day and she’s only gotten to pet him/her twice so far, but you can see her stalking him slowly, quietly, every evening when she goes out with the feed bowl. Winning him over. Coaxing him in. I’m sure she’ll [...]

That title just made me smile. Again. Meanings within meanings within meanings… Yesterday I came home to the sheep being out and about. (Which is becoming a perennial fall occurrence around here!) And then last night I spent a couple hours working on playground plans. Can I just tell you that I’m just spluttering over [...]

Well, as my laundry pile can attest to, we’re still really busy around here. But I just finished checking out some pictures from the craft show last weekend and thought I would post a few before I get everything up in the shop this weekend! Our table turned out pretty well, but we had to [...]

It’s been busy around here! But getting organized means writing lists, right? Well, here ya go! We had our first craft show last Saturday the 15th and lets just say I didn’t come home and quit my day job. The good news is that now we’ve got some super adorable stuff to load up in [...]

…This little guy from back in March? Well we were out there this weekend and I was just amazed by how much he’s grown. You see it day by day, but just like your kids, sometimes you miss the overall impact. It sneaks up on you–sort of like all of the sudden you turn around [...]

Both of my little boys were winter babies, one in December and one in January. So I spend the whole winter trying to convince Mr. Fix-It that their baby hats were necessary even if they were sort of…baby-ish. We had them stashed everywhere and wore a couple almost out. My favorite was a hand-knit, light [...]
