The sum of things. September 7, 2011. I made back here finally,after a big sale at my work that left me wiped out and too tired to do much other than flopping on the couch once home.But despite the sale there are things to share.

Chance and I taught our Chicken Butchering class a b...

Chicken Butchering Class this evening! August 19, 2011. This evening Chance and I will be teaching our Chicken Butchering class.This time around the class is very small but this works out just fine since it gives us lots of room for helping and chatting as we go. Chance and I have this ongoing talk with each other about what more we could be doing around here.How can we take things a step further,what are we over looking and what is missing that we may want to be doing? On that note I must be going.I...

My come back kid. September 12, 2011. Some of my long time readers already know the saga of our Issac and his health problems but I will tell the rest of you the story about Issac. Four years ago Issac was diagnosed with Crohns Disease. All of this within two years,it’s been rough but being Issac he has carried on like a brave trooper. He listened when his surgeon said to him ” You don’t have to let this stop you,keep living your life.”. 8230;the school thinks he can do it with lots of hard work. I beliv...

September 13, 2011. I am here for the second time today! Whoa kind of cool. The little bantam laid us an egg today. Can you guess which one it is?

But the weather has held and I was noticing that the really nice gardens in town were looking like they were being worked on. Following the lead of those gardens Chance and I got busy. I have done some early planti...
