Well, it's been a while since I wrote in here. Lots of wood cutting and splitting has come and gone and come again. Plus a pretty good few snow storms.
Welcome, I hope you enjoy my blog. I have links to the books I have written posted here. Along with a few family history links. I have projects we have done and are doing. Some ideas on food storage recipes and other hints. Along with our homestead chatter and crafts.

Here We Are In December, Wow.
Wednesday, October 14, 2020
The cold is here, and we received needed rain.
It has been raining off and on the last week and half. The whole area really needed it as well as others to the west and south.
It made it so we could get off into the woods to cut wood. First up in Field Springs State Park where we got permission and a wood permit to get their unwanted wood form downed trees from a wind storm last spring.

Lean-to Wall on Barn.
Well the wall is up on the barn lean-to. Youngest son came up to help get it up. This will keep the snow out. The first section after the wall will be our new wood area. Yes, we had to build it from particle board as everything else is so expensive anymore. We have had it on our back lean-to for 12 yrs and kept painted it lasts a long time.
The metal inside is to keep the wood up off of the ground when it gets wet form melting snow. We still need to cut off the long one. This is left over stuff we wee given 14 yrs ago.

New Chickens Are Now All in Old Coop
It took quite a bit of work but the three month old chickens are now in their permanent home.
The old bottom fencing that went into the ground, much had broken off in the last 15 years. We spent the last two days digging, installing and the cover the new before putting the new birds in. And yes I do help, I am the hander of tools, tie wires and the go-fer.
Way to hard to go deeper into the ground, rock and more rock with a hard layer of clay further down.
Starting to wire it to the bottom fencing.
Covering the wire.
Meet Fred, the rooster who supposed to be a hen lol.
The visitor in the back yard while we were in on a late lunchbreak. Both dogs were sleep lol.
