As a new blogger I’ve been very excited to watch my readership grow and am happy to announce that today I topped 100 page views for the day! I know in “real” blogger terms this is still small, but to me it’s huge. Thank You to all of you who have subscribed, bookmarked, stopped by and […]
Read More Thank You!!Well folks here it is. I secretly love the idea of The End Of The World As We Know It. Truth be known I’d probably love the actual scenario a lot less than the idea. However I’ve spent the last couple years trying to boost my supplies and skill set just in case. The thing […]
Read More Prepping – Call Me CrazyIf ever anyone had an Achilles heel… This is the time of year when many of us begin looking around wondering where all this stuff came from. And where should we put it all? First, let me say organization is just about my biggest challenge. There are days when I live in fear of the doorbell, […]
Read More OrganizationMy sister asked me to post this recipe, but I think some of you will like it too. If you’ve never made bread this one is almost goof proof. I’m sorry there’s no picture, it’s usually eaten before I think of taking pics. You’ll need a medium bowl, a pizza peel or smooth cutting board, and […]
Read More Easy Whole Wheat Artisan BreadToday I’m linking up with Homestead Barn Hop, so I thought I’d share my tried and true recipe for Honey Whole Wheat Bread. This recipe makes two 5×9 loaves.

Read More Building A 72 Hour KitIt seems our family rarely uses and entire bunch of fresh celery before it turns limp and yucky. I’m not sure why this happens, but I think it has something to do with the clutttered state of our refrigerator. As a result, I started dehydrating any fresh celery I have left after I use it […]
Read More Dehydrating CeleryIt happens each year. Just as you begin to itch with cabin fever, you open the mail box to find the first harbingers of Spring. Seed Catalogs! Perhaps you spirit them away to enjoy them alone for a bit. Perhaps you fly into the house waving them for all to see. Either way, it […]
Read More Here Come The Seed Catalogs!About 5 days ago when I went out to close up the coop for the night I noticed we were short one barred rock hen. I looked around a little, but since I didn’t see any sign of predation I figured I’d see her in the morning. The next day I looked out while the hens […]
