Our family really loves Sundays. It’s just a feel-good-family day, all the way around.
This past Sunday after Mass, we all came home, and changed into our old clothes, so that we could get working in our garden beds. Oh, the butterflies I get this time of year! It’s almost time for planting, so we needed to get all of the winter rye that we … Read More
Just a quick update on how our gardens have grown. It’s August now.
The most exciting recent development, is we finally have some watermelons growing!
They are still fairly small. I forget what variety we planted, so maybe they won’t get much bigger.
I need to find the seed packet, and find out, because we’ve got a (passed due) deadline here!
We need to use the ‘Watermelon … Read More
I believe we’ve been both gardening and blogging, for about 3 years. Our life is filled with so many various passions, there is more than we are actually able to get to blogging. I sure try to get it all in though! But one area that is especially hard to keep you all updated with, is the gardening! Good gosh. Things grow and change SO fast, by the time I … Read More
It’s that time of year again, when we start sharing with you what we’ve got growing in our gardens! For me, growing our own gardens is one of the greatest gifts of the season, and I revel in the joy of it! So I am anxious to chit-chat with you in all of the gardening-related posts coming up, as we update you on this year’s fruits of our labors, and … Read More
We’ve been blessed time and time again, with wood to burn in our wood stove through the cold seasons of the year. Having a cozy fire going in our home, is definitely our preferred source of heat, and we’ve hardly had to invest much in keeping it going. Oak pallets are dropped and stacked beside our driveway regularly through the winter, by Michael’s supply company, who is always looking to … Read More
We are still very much working on our long-term front garden-yard plans, and we’re far from completion. A little each year, as we need to roll, but we’ve enjoyed the planning and the progress along the way. We always wish we were further ahead than behind, but that’s the way it goes.
Our mailbox out front by the street, has really been looking like it needs some sprucing up, … Read More
Gardening season is upon us, and we’ve been doing a few creative home-front (literally, in front of our home) projects I am excited to share with you, one after the other, right here in the Homestead section. Our garden beds are all ready for planting next weekend as well, with the soil all screened and fertilized. (So exciting!) Aside from that, I’ve been getting creative & efficient around the … Read More
After sharing with you all the egg dying fun we had with the kids, I wanted to show you what we did with the eggs they dyed, and a little bit of the rest of the Easter/Spring decor around our home. As always, our little holiday tree ( or, branch in a bucket of bricks…lol.) is decorated. Mostly photos here – less chit-chat.
{O} did this arrangement … Read More
In mid-December, I had decided that my yard was looking all too-blase’, for me. There was snow, so that was a plus. It just looks so bleak and dead, without snow at least. But it really needed more than just……white, everywhere. It bothered me more this year, because I had seen, what I was missing, before. You see, at the end of 2 Autumn seasons ago, Michael and I … Read More
Michael and I have a really great general physician. Naturally, every doctor’s job is to take good care of their patients. But somewhere along the way, ours began going way above and beyond the call of duty.
He cooks for us!!
He’s cooked many meals for us by now. Although I am sure his lovely wife has helped at times, for some of them. But he LOVES to cook, … Read More
