They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
Everything is homeschool. Even a muddy former driveway that the pigs rooted through for a couple of months. This becomes a vehicle for talking about healthy and unhealthy soil with the kids. Think of it as a "before" picture. The "after" picture won't be for a couple of years, but ideally that same former driveway… Continue reading Spring Buds
It is funny how things never quite go according to (our) plan on the farm. It's also funny how one thing leads to another. For instance, we got to the farm on Tuesday with a list of tasks to get done. One of them, the smallest and easiest, was to come back with four 1/2… Continue reading Taking Apart Shelves
Tuesday was a school day at the farm. Seppi finished his school right away (being in Kindergarten). So he and Winnie had to be spoken to sternly about sword-fighting in the school area. There is a whole play room to play in, but in the school room around the easily distracted siblings is a much… Continue reading Tuesday

We thought Cascadia had arisen and slid y'all off into the Pacific Ocean. No, it hasn't but thanks for the healthy perspective.… Continue reading Boy, Let Me Tell You!
Daddy is off to Nationally Guard again. But first, let’s bless the house. After the Saturday vigil, since Daddy had to be on an airplane at 5 AM. Happy feast of the epiphany!
A lot of things get disrupted when Daddy goes on National Guard orders. With all the things that fall behind when Mommy and Daddy are both here, it is inevitable that with one of us gone for an extended period, things will fall apart a little. Honestly, if it weren't for Uncle Adam, we could… Continue reading Monday Catching up
It has been a while since we have posted anything here. There is a good reason for this. Our Advent has been somewhat disrupted because Daddy had to go on National Guard orders to help with the flood response in Western Washington. This has been an unusual advent. We began a novena to Our Lady… Continue reading Overdue Update
