Love is a Funny Thing
Love is a funny thing. We spend our whole lives chasing it, showing it, wishing for it, giving it, sharing it, and if we are truly lucky, finding it. It takes all shapes and sizes. But at our cores, each of us wants and needs the love of those around us. I was lucky enough to meet and marry my true love, who is also my best friend, but imagine my surprise when it hit me this week that the reason…

Crispy Cheese
Eating on the carnivore diet is boring, no seriously BORING. Especially if you are strict about eating only meat and fat. No diary, no flavoring, no vegetables, nothing but salt, fat, and meat. Luckily, Dave isn’t being that strict or I would have gone insane by now. He snacks on the cheese crisps from the store, but to be honest, they are pricey and filled with preservatives to make them shelf…

EGGS
Friday evening was book club and so off I went to enjoy some wine and hang out with my girlfriends. Imagine my utter delight when I received a text from Dave with the above picture attached! Our very first eggs from our very own chickens!! I realize it is a common place occurrence that will soon lose the “newness” and excitement factor, but right now we are both over the moon. Now the fun part…

Review: Wondermill Jr. Deluxe
The Wondermill Jr. Deluxe is a manual operated mill capable of grinding both dry and “wet” grains, beans, corn, etc. It is not a flaker and is incapable of flaking groats into oatmeal flakes. It is also not inexpensive, it is an investment but one which will be utilized for the rest of our lives. Assembly isn’t difficult, it all goes together pretty intuitively thankfully because the assembly…

It's that time of year ... Seed Catalogs!
Technically, all of my seed catalogs arrived at the end of 2022 but I haven’t had a chance to go through them. Let’s be honest, seed catalogs are dangerous! So many delicious and beautiful things to grow jump off the page and demand to be purchased. Temptation is a constant companion when flipping through seed catalogs. The above catalogs I haven’t ordered from but I was more than a wee bit…

Treats from the Homestead 17 January 2023
The last two weeks have been rather humdrum and predictable in my kitchen. The meals have been tasty but nothing spectacular. As I type this, honestly I am at a loss as to what we actually ate. Cedar fever, what we Texans call the influx of cedar pollen which makes life miserable for those of us afflicted, has made the days a blur. I did make another batch of breakfast sandwiches, which have…

This Week on the Homestead 15 January 2023
A very quiet week here with Dave going into the office every day and Cedar Fever effecting us and the dogs. Lots of reading was accomplished and my video editing skills improved but thankfully this wee the Homestead took care of itself. Monday brings the monumental task of actual garden planning. Weather is ready for planting to begin and I don’t have a plan. I know I need to start lavender…

Review: Insulated Door Curtain
Review: Insulated Door Curtain
We have odd door entries, none of our doors are standard size which makes it very difficult and/or expensive to replace doors or add screen doors. When we adopted Felicity and Kahlua in April of 2022 little did we know just how vital a screen door would be. Felicity is an outside dog until she wants to eat, sleep, or cuddle. If she doesn’t have easy access to outside, no matter the temperature…

Thanks for the memories 2022
Thanks for the memories 2022
A fond and bittersweet 2022 glimpse As we ring in the New Year, let us not forget to hold in our hearts the memories of those we have lost this year and to take the time to show those that we love just how precious and irreplaceable they truly are in our lives. May 2023 be filled with more fond than bittersweet memories for all of us. May we all learn from our failures, have plentiful gardens,…

Reflections on the Challenges and Rewards of 2022
Reflections on the Challenges and Rewards of 2022
I have been compiling the end of the year review, and I am incredibly proud of Dave and myself. This was our first full year in Texas and it was a breeze compared to our last three on the East Coast. It wasn’t the savings bonanza we needed, the homestead simply needed too much work from the previous “loving” owner. We did make infrastructure improvements to the house and the land. We haven’t…
