I currently have bread rising and a crock pot of chicken broth brewing. The bread was made with freshly ground wheat flour and the stock with one of our homegrown chickens we put in the freezer a year or so ago. And I didn’t feel like it was a waste of time. Both are delicious…
Hi, it’s been quite a while since I last wrote! There has been quite a bit happening in my life, and as I knew that this blog is easily revived (it’s just waiting for time to write and publish), I had set it aside for the time being. But now, I’m learning to manage my…
I milked this morning as I usually do Monday mornings. I also didn’t get up until 7:30, even though my alarm kept going off every 5 minutes since 6 and I kept hitting the snooze. There has been a lot of life happening lately, between my mom struggling with her health, the growing herd share,…

When I first started this blog, I had a specific purpose in mind. It was about how I could use this blog to do whatever it was I had in mind, to get the truth out there about living right or something. I honestly can’t even recall anymore what original intent it was I had….
A lesson about how God loves and views people. And how that can pour into my heart and overflow to others. The Story I went to play softball with our youth at a nearby city park Friday evening. When I pulled in the parking lot for the ballfield, my sisters and I noticed that a…
