Those words keep crossing my mind this morning as I sip my coffee and stare at the work ahead of me. I’m now fully moved out of the apartment and boxes are piled in the living room. I’m trying to be fair to myself in reminding myself that a lot of it is work tools…
Change Is Happening
Today’s post is a little different and the actually update for today will be going up later this afternoon, but I wanted to share with you all something that I’m super excited about. All this morning, I have been working on a new website and I’m happy to say that it is up and running!…
An Unexpected Whale Sighting
This morning has started out a little more slowly than I anticipated. Yesterday’s busy day landed us in bed later than we normal and with all the flowers blooming and grass cutting, my allergies had me by a chokehold this morning. Initially I was awake with the sun at 5:30 this morning, but haven gotten…
A Busy Homesteading Day
It’s another beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest. The sun decided to peak out from behind the clouds this morning, sending rays of beauty and warmth across the garden and streaming in through the windows. Austin has already left for work, leaving me to plan out my day and take care of the homestead in…
Zippy Farm Dog
I’ve talked quite a bit previously of our 9 month old blue heeler mix, Zippy. Today while I sat thinking about what to share with you all today, he came up and put his head in my lap, so, being the sane person I am, I started talking to him, asking if I should introduce…

Food, Family, and Fun
Today was a mixture of peaceful and eventful. A day full of family, good food, and great conversation. Started off the day with the animals allowing us to sleep in a couple hours later than normal. My sweet Austin has been working 7 days a week, so I snuck the animals out of the room…
Morning, In All It’s Glory
I never used to be a morning person. As a child and teen, we were expected to be up by 6:30, feeding the chickens, doing chores, eating breakfast; ready and raring for the day. I remember most mornings with my cup of chocolate milk, trudging out into the cold, fingers shaking unlocking the chicken coop,…
Rain, Rain, Go Away…
But please come back in a few more days. At the moment, I am sitting bundled under a blanket, in front of the tiny fireplace, third cup of coffee next to me. Our quant home is quiet, save for the steady raindrops on the metal roof. It’s been raining steadily for three days; falling asleep…
The Journey Begins
