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 […]

May on the Homestead

backyard with trees and green grass

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 […]

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 […]

Brown to Vortex (January update)

Posted on February 1, 2019February 2, 2021by Carmen
Jan 2019 snowfall

January went by in a blur!  Granted, I spent the first two weeks under extreme stress trying to prepare for a major install on the 12th, but still…!! Basically, to me this past month was all about stress, weather and crafting.  The latter is the only part that hasn’t been stressful. Anyone living in the […]

My first 2019 post

Posted on January 25, 2019February 16, 2021by Carmen

Somehow the end of the year has suddenly become the end of January. I’m not sure exactly how that happened but I’m sure it’s somewhat related to being insanely busy at my day job for the first 2 1/2 weeks of the year. It’s been so crazy that I come home and pretty much mentally […]

In review… September (and August) 2018

Posted on September 30, 2018February 2, 2021by Carmen
2018 canning

So much has happened in the last couple months.  We went camping at the beginning of August like we do every year.  This year it was a time of joyous celebration for seeing friends we don’t see often enough – and a few we haven’t seen for years.  But sadly, it was also when my […]

Camping with s’mores

Buckhorn State Park - campfire

Last year I did a series of posts on camping … and then the season ended. It’s a shame we only go camping a couple times a year! If you missed reading those posts, they can be found here: What to pack for a camping trip – General supplies, Cooking, and Other items to consider. […]

July 2018 garden harvest

I know, this counts as two posts in one week! However, I didn’t want to detract from my new Mourning Dove Shawl design – and yet, there is so much more I wanted to talk about! It’s the middle of summer and yet I just finished a bulky cowl for this winter. I was making […]

Top 10 March (2018) Events

Posted on March 31, 2018February 16, 2021by Carmen
tree buds in spring

I love spring: the promise of warmer weather, the first signs of new life – in gardens, flower beds and pastures, and longer, sunnier days, and Easter. This week ends the first quarter of 2018 and I have no idea how that happened!! I bet you’re wondering if we fell off the face of the […]
