Temporary Abundance of Eggs
We’re getting all the girls and boys (poultry) lined up for producing some incubatable eggs – breedings that will result in meaty birds or replacement layers and brooders. In the mean time, waiting for indiscrete fertilized eggs to pass, we’re being forced to consume a lot of eggs. Ultimately it isn’t a problem, but so … Continue reading
Winter Knitting
I just now used this potholder. It was knitted up this last month and I was fairly disappointed in the design so it just sat by my knitting waiting to undergo scrutiny on what all needs to be changed. But just now I needed to grab the tea kettle off of the wood stove and … Continue reading
The View from My Armchair
It’s that time of year again! This is the time of the year when the soil is either too soggy or frozen, right now it is too soggy, to be doing much in the garden. The drainage ditches are all tidied up and doing their job, it just happens to be raining constantly. There is … Continue reading

Instead of an opening day with tea and cookies on that-day-I-don’t-care-for-because-of-it’s-knuckle-head-association, I suggested we still have a party … Continue reading
The Middle Part of Christmas
Before an entire week blows by, I thought I would recount the middle of our Christmas; Day Six through Day Nine. My camera has a hard time finding its way out of its case lately so the only pictures I have for you are of The Fifth Day of Christmas and bringing back the Orange … Continue reading
