Elderberry Elixir
Monday was a bit of an off day. Mommy and Daddy both had to work, but Auntie Mate was here to shepherd the kids through school. They did a great job being good for her. On Tuesday, we tried to get the house back into the normal swing of things, and to push ahead on… Continue reading Elderberry Elixir
Bumping Along
Exciting times this week! We sold our old much used Chevy Colorado, and bought a newer more gently used Chevy Silverado. The kids were wild with excitement, and have named the truck "Bluey". Because it's blue. It makes an excellent boat, cave, vermin lair, or castle as the need requires. They are currently slaves, plotting… Continue reading Bumping Along
Subdividing the South Pasture: Marking out the lines
Tuesday after school we set out for the pasture to mark out the lines where the new fence is going to run. The first step was removing the netting that has been up since early this summer.

Sometimes a budding young paratrooper can get shot in the ensuing war. She does her own moulage too! When… Continue reading The Fort
School at the Farm
Hurray for a new school year! Another trip round the merry-go-round of formal education. School at the farm doesn't actually start at the farm. For those who don't know, we don't actually live at the farm because it doesn't have enough bedrooms for all of us. One of these years we will remodel it, but… Continue reading School at the Farm
Sewing 4H: Pillow
Evie's latest project for her 4H sewing club! Great Job Evie! Does anyone want to finance a farmhouse remodel that includes building a sewing room? Asking for a friend.
An Educational Post
Not all education happens in school, or during school hours. I am posting this picture just because it was the best Swiss Apple pie Mommy ever made. Look at those layers! The crust was browned and crispy all the way across the bottom, the apples were soft with just the right amount of crisp, the… Continue reading An Educational Post
