July 2019 homestead update

Posted on August 2, 2019August 2, 2019by Carmen

Yes, I know I posted a homestead update just a couple of weeks ago but it seems like so much has happened since then! Summer Storms I didn’t mention in that last update, that we were supposed to be camping that weekend. Earlier in the week the forecast was for mid-90s all weekend. And with […]

I don’t know about your household, but when we try and plan meals, it’s so easy to get caught up in the main dish / meat option and suddenly you think “What are we going to have WITH this?” Back in the day, when hubby and I were first married, we often had pre-packaged rice […]

Camping at Cushon’s

Posted on June 7, 2019June 7, 2019by Carmen

Last weekend we went to a new-to-us campground near Houston, Minnesota. The place was called Cushon’s Peak Campground, because (surprise, surprise), it’s at the base of Cushon’s Peak bluff. Our friends had tried this place out last year and said what a nice campground it was. We would have to agree – and can’t wait […]

May on the Homestead

It’s funny how when I start to write: “Nothing happened in May,” I think to myself. It’s a good thing I take lots of pictures as reminders, because a LOT happened this month! You may recall that at the beginning of the month, we had a sick hen on our hands. I’m sad to say […]

New release: Icy Textures hat and cowl

Posted on May 24, 2019May 30, 2019by Carmen

Well, one of the new websites, ASH Fiber Arts may still be in transition but I would say it’s more than 50% up and working. I’m still having the new logo worked on and I need to move the remaining shop items over, plus there are some tweaks yet to be made. However, I just […]

Spring 2019 homestead update

Posted on May 3, 2019May 3, 2019by Carmen

Here we are, ready to share our usual happenings around the place for April? March? What month is this anyway?! The chickens are happy that there is no snow on the ground – or at least none that sticks around (we had snow showers last Saturday). Although those silly hens are not real fond of […]

Note: This is an old family favorite that I had originally posted on an old blog, but it never made the transition to this spot – until now! These old pictures aren’t as great as I’d like, but I hope you enjoy it! Disclaimer: The links below may be affiliate links. If you purchase any […]

March 2019 homestead update

Posted on April 5, 2019April 5, 2019by Carmen

March was a crazy month for our family!! There were five weekends and with all the running around we did, it’s not surprising that I was sick one weekend and Papa the next. We “just” had colds, but they were pretty nasty. I’m just thankful we seem to have avoided the influenza that’s in our […]
