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.

Never Ending Things That Need Done
We're trying to get all the things done around here that have added up and have been planned to get finished this summer. But trying to keep up with the things that have to be done week to week. You know like mowing and weed eating etc.
Our area has seen a rash of family dogs being hit and shot. We do our best to keep ours in our fenced yard. Nothing but gravel roads here but some folks think they are running the Indy 500 or something.
The first week of summer vacation finds one of the grand girls here and digging for treasure.
Creek time
The lilac's just bloomed here this week.

Work and Delays
One delay after another here on garden area. We have thousands of thistles in the garden area. Dh has been trying to get rid of them before we plant so we don't fight them all summer again. Only problem we're not getting enough days with no rain. We have planted this late before because of freezing so that's no problem.
He did get the area up by the barn smoothed out and more will be done by hand.
Turkeys and new chicks are now down in their new home until he end of summer :).

Lots To Do It Seems
A big Happy Anniversary to our son S and daughter in law J. Does the year fly by or what! A back when pic :)
We are still working on farm chores, new chicks are now transferred down to the newer pen. Hubby weed eating the grass down for them. Took 4 hours from getting pen set up and ready to catching and shipping them down to new area.
Wood pecker outside of back door.

Flowers blooming around the place.
The apple tree is getting ready to bloom and maybe next week the lilacs will also.
We hope this finds all out there well and doing as good as possible.

Spring Has Sprung
Yes spring is here for us. The daffodils are up and blooming and hubby has even mowed once already. Just this last week.
The pastures are all bush hogged and ready for animals.
The temperatures were in the 50's but bam today will be low 70's.
This was one of the days.
The chicks are growing well and are now in a larger area. They have been spreading out and running and trying to fly. This was taken one cool morning. Their light stays on in case they get cool.
This is Gus the neighbors bull. He loves to lick boots and shoes if you are near him. So be prepared.

New Chicks
We have 50 new chicks, 25 Rhode Island Reds and 25 White Leghorns. The Royal Palms turkeys won't be here for about 2 weeks. We tried to have them come all at the same time but it wasn't to be. Hard to see them inthe red heat lamp light.
The snow is almost all melted, we just have what's left over from the high drifts and under the trees in the forest. The lower pond is full. We are getting mostly rain these days with sleet now and then.
I have started making carry and or storage bags out of the grain bags :) My extra yarns I am using at the time are in one for now.
I am almost ready to put my new book up on Amazon. I am going through it for the last time after hubby edited it. Should be able to get that done in less than another week, hopefully.
All take care.

It is snowing again today and the temperatures are around 20 deg. F. So warmer today.
I did manage to get my newer book up and running on Amazon. Just Call Me Garbage: Cat Girl Of CWY. This one runs more towards the science fiction type.
