Posted a bit late.
On her first birthday, she went to the park:
Played in the water…
Checked it all out…
Thought it all over…
Found it all fine…
Fed some small fishes…
Had a good time.
Counted her candles…
Looked at some gifts…
Helped out the Momma….
Tasted the cake…
It too was fine.
Ended with ice cream.
Bye-bye…

Anna wrote that square foot gardening isn’t working for her and she is going back to regular rows. Instead of clogging up her comments I decided to post my thoughts here. I had posted some of my own research earlier. Andrea commented that her family loved potatoes and would up the amount. I agree. Please feel free […]

I just noticed the sidebar is spelled wrong.
Look at the left one, down at DYI/Homesteading. It should read DIY.
Perhaps it isn’t really wrong:
DIY - Do It Yourself
DYI - Do Yourself In
Pretty much the same thing.

Right now the family garden is a rather small backyard garden. I have been reading and studying (and trying to impliment) about how to produce good amounts in a small space. It seemed providential to find Path to Freedom and their urban homestead set-up. Good ideas to think about and try.
Now that we have more space I have […]

Well, it seems we will be moving in the not so distance future. DH has been wanting to move closer to his father - an hour+ drive is just too much, esp. since his mother has passed on.

Emergency services - people waiting to run to the rescue when things go wrong.
House fire = fire department
Thieves = police
Heart Attack = ambulance
Earth quake = Red Cross or FEMA
Right?
Maybe not…Not exactly…
Did you know that the USPS (US postal service) has up-graded to seven regional computers (or regional systems) that sort & direct the mail to the appropriate […]

Setting the stage:
Mrs. Fyah had a due date of August 1. That day came and went a looooong time ago. Her water finally broke Saturday morning.
Our church was having an ice cream supper - homemade of course. It was to be Saturday evening, outside with horseshoes, volleyball, waterballoons, watersprinkler, and various combinations of water-balloons-volleyball-children. The […]
