Over the past year we have been gradually trying to get our kitchen down to a minimal amount of appliances and replace our cook ware. Prior to knowing better, I had purchased a set of non stick cookware, thinking it would be a good, long lasting investment. After about 2 years, I noticed [...]

Itching to get outside!

We have had several days of beautiful sunny, warm weather and the snow is melting away. We are seeing the ground and it is wonderfully soft and easily dug into. This makes me want to get outside and start working on my garden beds.
Yesterday I couldn’t stand it any longer and I went out to [...]
Crochet Time

I love to crochet, but I sometimes bite off more than I can chew. I will get many projects going all at once and then not finish them. The past several years, I have made it my goal to finish what I start. I get excited to start a new project, then [...]

We raise chickens for our eggs. We have for 6 years now. However, during the winter, they tend to slow down or stop altogether.

Ok, this is getting to be borderline unbelievable. It rained for about 13 hours straight today. A fairly hard rain too, not a drizzle. It seems like it just can’t stop. Storm after storm with hardly a break in between. It is a sloppy, mucky mess outside. The chicken pen looks like a swap and [...]

For some odd reason, I slept in until 7 am this morning. I almost never sleep that late. I am usually up by 5 or so. When I woke up, I could see it was light out already. I looked outside and it was nice and sunny. A welcome sight after all the rain, [...]

I was all set to go to my meeting today with the county Supervisor. However, it rained all night and the forecast is calling for up to 6 inches of snow today, so he canceled. So now I find myself with a whole day in front of me. Since I woke up with a headache [...]

I had an appt with my tax guy today for 1 pm. He called and changed it to Monday, which is good cause I am not ready for him yet. I was also told I had to appear at my hearing with Code Enforcement today, which I was none too happy about due to the [...]
Does Organic = Healthy?

I was watching a show on television about a couple in Pennsylvania that has twins and sextuplets. I noticed over the course of several shows that the mom kept talking about how she feeds her kids only healthy, organic food. Initially, I thought, “Oh, that is really good that she is watching [...]
