Last night we had a tornado threat. Co-op let out early in an attempt to get people home before the storms hit us. It hit in many places fairly close by, and people very close had damage from wind with trees falling. We spent a chunk of time in the basement without electricity, but that […]
Happy Easter, new job, contacts, skinny horses, and missing chicks.
It’s been a super busy week. Liberty had her interview and was hired at Braum’s. She worked Friday for the first time. The elementary kids had their spring musical at co-op. We’re wrapping up more subjects for school. I got contact lenses for the first time in twelve years. Liberty decided she was going to […]
I’m old.
So… the lice thing was anticlimactic. I kept combing and never found another thing that looked remotely suspicious. I have continued to check children randomly. Nothing. I panicked over nothing. I’ve never been so thrilled to have been wrong. We were moving the chicken tractor… 600 pound coop on two wheels… and I tripped and […]
One of my worst fears.
We got to go flying this week for the flight school I do the bookkeeping for. This time Liberty and Ruby got to go too. I dosed up both with anti nausea meds. If they helped… I’d hate to see what it would have been like without them. Liberty did okay, slightly nauseous, but she […]
Just. Keep. Going.
We’re starting to wrap up school for the year. A couple kids finished handwriting, and today Sterling finished PreAlgebra. Pierce is days away from finishing his math. We’ve signed up for classes next year for co-op. I rather love the beginning of the end of the school year. Finally, the end is in sight. Kids […]
A night in the life.
Bear with me for a moment while I log an evening in the life. Someday I’ll be glad I wrote this down, because things get forgotten when seasons pass. I walked into the kitchen to make supper. Potluck prep for the potluck after church the next day was also needing to happen. Both Liberty and […]
Stellan: information regurgitator.
Stellan is a sponge. It’s super fun to fill his little brain with information that he spits back at you when requested. I’ll attempt to embed a video. Let me know if I’m successful? If not, I’ll go about it differently. 643C66C1-4C87-4CBA-B1B5-6A1D97A9B020
Valentine’s Dance 2019
Liberty and Eden attended our co-op Valentine Dance just after Valentine’s Day. It was good to get back to the land of the living after our run in with influenza. They danced the night away and had a great time. I hung out with a job at the dance… and an excuse to be there! […]
Elliot Adelaide: 5.
This sweet girl turned five on Friday. We celebrated her day with sticky buns, strawberry shortcake, and a trip to the chicken hatchery. We thought the little Jersey Giant that hatched a month ago needed friends. And we need egg layers. Aren’t they cute? We got Barred Rocks, Silver Laced Black Wyandottes, and Easter Eggers. […]
Hank, Hazel, and a wretched bout of the flu.
Last Sunday, two day old baby goat Hank crashed. He was too weak to stand. We brought him inside, brought his temp up, stomach tubed him and fed him, and still he died. It was a hard day. Hazel acts like she doesn’t even notice. It’s so weird. We’ve been milking her for now. I’ll […]
