DID YOU MISS ME?

I’ve been MIA for a couple weeks but it’s been for good reasons. Two weekends ago, Oscar developed Covid symptoms and was completely wilted. So, he got none of his weekend chores and projects done. Yes, he tested positive. I was feeling puny too… Continue Reading “DID YOU MISS ME?”

SISTER FOUR’S TURN

After just a week, Sister One (the corn) was sprouted in 10 of the 11 mounds in the Three Sisters Garden. If I don’t see something in that last mound in a few days, I’ll plant more corn seeds. The corn needs to be… Continue Reading “SISTER FOUR’S TURN”

2021 HOMESTEADING ACCOMPLISHMENTS

I spent the waning days of the year reviewing the projects we did on the homestead this year. It wasn’t as much as I wanted to do but, looking back, it’s nothing to sniff at either! 2021 TWO CHICKENS HOMESTEAD ACCOMPLISHMENTS made a hoop… Continue Reading “2021 HOMESTEADING ACCOMPLISHMENTS”
