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 […]

The Return of Winter

Posted on February 24, 2017March 21, 2021by Carmen
winter is back

Two days ago I snapped a picture of our front yard. It was hard to believe how spring-like it looked on the 22nd of February. We had so many days of 50-60°F (10-15°C) weather the past couple of weeks that all the snow had melted – except in a few places where it had been piled […]

January 2017 Homestead update

Posted on January 26, 2017March 21, 2021by Carmen
Jan 25 snowfall

We have been having some crazy weather this month. First it was super-cold, but that’s actually quite normal for January. Then we got dumped on with large amounts of snow. That was followed by what seemed a week of warmer temps and RAIN – although I think it was actually only a couple of days. […]

Winter has arrived

December sunset

Officially winter doesn’t start until December 21, but it sure feels and looks like winter around here! Sunday morning we woke to a pile of snow on the ground. I’m not sure what the official measurements were, but it was at least 6″, maybe 9″. December snowfalls are so pretty, especially when you get that […]

Garden planning – crop rotation

As I mentioned in parts 1 and 2, I’ve had my little garden planning system in place for a few years now. But there’s always room for improvement. For example, I haven’t really spent time looking at companion planting. I tried once or twice, but it’s tough in a small space so I haven’t worried […]

Dr. Seuss and critters on the homestead

ASimpleHomestead.com - Thing One and Thing Two

I’ve been torn lately between wanting to shout from the rooftops that we have a READER in the house and crying because my baby is growing up too fast.  I know I’ve been telling our family that we have a Reader for several weeks now, but this week she picked up a book she was […]

What is up with our weather?! I’ve heard this is supposed to be an El Niño year but I don’t remember a year this mild and warm. We had one day of snow – back on the 2nd of December. I’m not even sure it lasted 24 hours before it melted.  Just check out our […]
