This is going to be a very Catholic post, so if you are offended by Catholic stuff... read on. Back at the beginning of December we said a Novena to Our Lady of Loreto for the intention of selling our Tennessee property so we could afford to remodel the farmhouse so we can move in… Continue reading Thanksgiving: A Very Catholic Post

Boy, Let Me Tell You!
Howdy folks! Boy it has been a minute! Welcome back, Three Hearts Farm! How have you been these last 2 1/2 weeks? My goodness has it really been that long? Yes it has. 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!
Happy Epiphany
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!
Overdue Update
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
Tomato Sauce
September 5th. The tomatoes are pretty much done for the year, it seems. We have very few new blossoms, and while we have a few ripe ones coming in, it is not enough to be worth saving, and we need to clear freezer space so we can start collecting apples for cidering in a month… Continue reading Tomato Sauce

Dividing the Pasture: First gate
One of the most laborious tasks of the rotational grazing on the two main pastures at the farm is running of the long center line fence. This takes a full morning or afternoon to move every time we need to move from the North to the South Pasture, or vice versa. The long bundles are… Continue reading Dividing the Pasture: First gate
Catching Up
It has been a while since our last post here. We have been on vacation for the last week, visiting Ryan's family in Tennessee. We did some sight seeing, and helped out with some projects on the homesteads there, had some family meals and game nights. All in all a good vacation, but it did… Continue reading Catching Up
Good to be back
It has been a long time since we have posted here. Daddy has been busy doing National Guard stuff (Boo!) and Mommy has been busy holding down the fort (Yay!). But we're back with a quick fire post to get us up to date. What is Winne so excited about? Moo's! Not just any moo's.… Continue reading Good to be back
