Goodness …
If this works, we will have some 26+ vegetable, fruit and herb plants growing in our basement this winter. SWEET – I am so excited to see how this rolls out! Meanwhile, DH is pleased with the hydroponic space, too. But, he did say to me, “This is interfering with my ceramic time …” Doh …
Back On Track …
Lots to share! (Yep, the picture post I talked about…) I’m so excited. Our garden is producing: Oh Summer, I love you!!! We have Cornish chickens (meat chickens) … So, hear me out. I researched and grew into this phase, FOR A WHILE – on my OWN. One …
Bombshell-Deadline-Bombshell …
And Finally a GOOD WEEK!!! I’ve been Missing In Action. I’m sorry for that. Crummy Viruses, Avoiding Adulting, Dealing WITH Deadlines, and ULTIMATELY – We Are Here! A few weeks ago, I spent some time (FORCEFULLY) visiting a lousy GI bug, but I beat it back and after 3 hard days – I won. Then …
So Fortunate!!!
My Friday started on a scary note … DH came into the studio, said ‘Hi!’, talked for a bit – and then saw all my burn-ables (flyers, packaging, cardboard boxes, junk mail) – and carted them away. [So, HYPOTHETICALLY, maybe we have always (like 18+ years) burned our combustible trash, as MAYBE we pay for …
IT WORKED …
DH is a happy camper! Our Corned Beef Soup is amazing, and he has officially requested that it be added to our Recipe Book. Meanwhile, I am crocheting the ‘fast hats’ … here is another ‘Rainbow Plum’ to add to our growing display. I feel like we have a ‘Baby’ hat, now a ‘Mama’ hat …
Umm, Still Learning …
With a Twist! I am staying on top of my work duties: Dogs, email, nursing, cooking, family … I’m also keeping on top of the Ladies … Poor Miss Hannigan is being picked on – So we have ‘Blue Kote’ to try to help her. I’m still trying to figure this chicken hierarchy out … …
Everything’s Roses ….
I’ve taught myself how to crochet. While I’m only mimicking YouTube videos at the moment, I will double down and learn how to read the directions! But, here’s what I made this week. This week was tough. I will be reevaluating, shoring up some ‘stuff’ and figure out the best way to move forward. …
A Hectic Start to 2021 …
Which isn’t a bad thing … just a busy thing(!), as DH and I continue to take shifts watching over our Moms and pups, while squeezing in the rest of our daily duties … Here is a quick photo of some of Gina’s babies, who are 3 weeks old and growing by the minute! I’ve …
Hello … Spring???
Where are you? Michigan and spring are so NOT-IN-TUNE with each other … So, while we’re experiencing frequent snowfall in between teaser-weather days, I’ve been cooking. We made Seafood Alfredo, a big pot of Spinach Sausage Bean soup (with added vegetables), and tonight we tried Zucchini Noodles with Avocado Pesto – with a substitute … …
Bring on the Spring …
I have spring fever. I am so ready to do some things in the yard. I’ve been reading up and watching YouTube videos, and I think this year DH and I are finally ready to bring home some chickens! I’m so excited. But first, we’ll be converting an old shed into a coop for them. …
