We had to get out in the nice weather before the storm came through. The ponies were very interested in the sled 😂. A little fresh air does the body good!

When you haven't gotten a seed magazine in the mail for two days 🤣

I need help! 😂

I finally thickened up my first batch of salve, and I have to say... I think I'm addicted!

This particular salve is made with plantain and naturally scented, meaning I didn't add any scents. It's great for minor cuts, scrapes, burns, dry skin, and so much more!

Surprise!
We've been holding out on you guys. 😅 Obviously I haven't been posting as much since summer. I've been preoccupied with little O (11 months old now!!!) and baby #2! We're due in April with another little girl. We can't wait to meet her 🥰

Our little trick rider helping mom seed shop.🥰
It was about this time I realized we've been living here a year. Time has flown and we've already done quite a bit since being here. I wonder what it will look like next year.
Also, the foil is to keep the bratty cat off the table😂

I got a tortilla press for Christmas! You know what that means...taco night!

The heavy fog yesterday/last night put a nice frost over the trees and made for some interesting looking snow. Winter doesn't seem so bad when things look like this.

A wild Saturday night in this house! 😂

I'm working on finalizing my seed list for this year and looking into getting chickens.😊 Throw in some homemade pizza with home canned sauce and it comes full circle. 😄

Winter struggles...
Having to string four hoses across the yard from your basement to water the animals because the pump in the shed is a frozen piece of junk. 😂

I hope winter is short this year. 😂😂
