Spring is (Seemingly) in the Air

Spring is (Seemingly) in the Air

After church today, the kids and I went outside to get to our car. Dave had already left to go cut wood for our ceiling project that has been on hold for almost 2 years (YAY!!!!!), so it was just the kids and me. Walking out into the sunshine made me smile. As we all […]

New Year, New Start

New Year, New Start

Over the last many months, randomly Dave or I would look at each other and say something like, “This is something we should be blogging about,” and yet neither of us would pull the trigger. Why that is, I’m not really sure. I felt this pressure that we needed to be actually accomplishing something in […]

The Courting of Kawhi (or Unamazing Grace)

The Courting of Kawhi (or Unamazing Grace)

I enjoy listening to sports talk radio. When I am driving or doing some work around the house, I’m usually listening to either a podcast or sports radio, so I am generally current with the goings-on of the national sports scene.  There comes a point however, where you can only take so much of a […]

The Fire Round

The Fire Round

A few years ago, I exercised some seriously bad judgement. Judgment so bad that I ended up earning a spot on the local news. The headline ran something like “Local idiot starts big fire.” Let me explain. We have not had the privilege of buying “good land” in our homestead journey. We’ve not had the […]

Easter Season is Upon Us

Easter Season is Upon Us

This morning at church, our pastor brought up a point I’ve never heard before. He said that Jesus’ “cup of suffering” wasn’t about taking on the sins of the world, or the pain that he would endure while carrying the cross, being whipped or dying on the cross, but rather that the suffering he didn’t […]

It’s seed starting time!!! We’re determined th It’s seed starting time!!! We’re determined this year to make our garden last through the winter...or at the very least save SOME fruits of our labor.
.
We’ve never been successful at producing more than we consume over the summer, but this year will be different. Even if it’s with just onions that we have extra. That alone will be a win.
.
Today saw planting of onions, peppers, cauliflower and broccoli. Because peppers have never produced as much as they could, and cauliflower and broccoli had a “meh” kind of start last year, were determined to succeed. And if they don’t sprout, we still have time.
.
Someday we may consider ourselves “master gardners”, but for now, we have a long long way to go. But that’s completely ok. We’re excited about the learning journey.
