Happy New Year! We are looking forward to the New Year and all the exciting activities that are heading our way.
Bo and Luke are a year old now. Wow! they are big boys now. There favorite activites are Sleeping, Doggy Treats and being chased in the yard.
Our garden is in the process of getting ready for spring. We are adding new plants, berries and fruits. We are hoping all our fruits and vegetables will do very well this year. With the time we spent reading books, studying magazines and all the back breaking work. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a successful garden.
Sandra is getting her canning list together for some canning now and when the garden is ready. She is digging through all her booking and pulling the best recipes from last year and adding new recipes to try.
She is hoping to coordinate the canning with her cooking recipes in hopes to cut the grocery bill even more than what she has. Her goal is to only buy what you cannot make, to keep the grocery bill for 4 adults at 80.00 every two weeks.
We added two homesteading items to our homestead this year. We added a wood burning stove and a cast iron bath tub with claw feet. Steffon already refinished the stove and we have enjoyed it several times. The Tub will need a professional finish and we hope to get that done soon. Both will be in full use on our future farm.
Our Christmas was wonderful! We spent it with our family's and enjoyed all the good cooking, visiting.
