Struggling To Find Ourselves

I am not sure if datalogic items fall into the category of logical? Or unlogical?  I don’t really follow companies very well most of the time, so I’m not sure.

In other news,  we now have 3 boys and 2 girls on the ground in our goat herd!  The second girl was born yesterday.  We have another doe (or two) that should be delivering ANY day!  So we will see if it stays a money year with more boys than girls….or turns into another growing year with more girls than boys.

God Bless!

As we look forward to the outside projects that are lining up for this Spring, we are considering a wooden pergola like shelter for behind our cabin. We have made no concrete plans, yet, but we are looking at what we can do with the concrete pad that is back there. What can we do to increase the value of the property some more? And what can we do that would actually be useful for us?

God Bless!

….we are looking at getting our raised-bed garden area set up, as well as getting some more compost and such in my flower beds and so forth, and fertilizing the pastures and such.  With all of this moving of dirt and spreading manure and such, we haven’t really figure out what the best composter is yet, but we are working on it.  We are finally getting the barns and other areas caught up, cleanliness-wise, as we started WAY behind on those when we moved in to this place.  We have found that that manure that has actually had a chance to cool off and become a GOOD dirt is GREAT for planting flowers and such in!

In other news, the two sets of twins are doing good!  They have been out for a little while each day to test out their legs by bounding around the pen.  They are soooooo cute and silly looking when they are testing out their legs!

God Bless!

Yes, I would have to say that you can really tell that the times have changed by looking at the differences in nursing uniforms or any uniform, for that matter.  I would have to say that the change in nursing uniforms is a GOOD thing!  The new scrubs that a lot of the nurses wear to work these days really do a LOT to brighten up the dismal hospital setting.  If you get bored at some point, why don’t you do an internet search for images of nursing uniforms and see what comes up?  I am sure that I would be entertained for hours, just looking at the different pictures from different eras of the uniforms.

God Bless!

Well, Christmas has come and went again.  Now, as we start looking at getting the farm and such ready for our Spring and Summer projects that are on the list, I start looking ahead to possibilities for NEXT Christmas.  I have noticed, over the last few months, that my son is showing more and more interest in music.  So, at some point this year, if he continues to show an interest in it, I will probably do some comparison shopping on drum sets for kids, or maybe a wind instrument of some type, or maybe even the piano or organ.  Only time will tell, I suppose.

Blessings to ALL!

Today is the third day of the new year, and it was another day on the farm and taking care of farm business for me.  As I went about my chores this morning in the brisk morning air, I had no use for sparkling engagement rings on my finger.  In fact, I have no use for a sparkling wedding ring either, but having one of those to show off occasionally would be nice.  My husband of almost a year and a half says he WILL get me a different wedding ring than what I have…..and I keep telling him that maybe after some of the bills are paid off and we choose to have money a bit more loose for things that we don’t need.  Until then, the one I’ve got says what I want to say to the world.

Hope this new year is finding you BLESSED beyond your wildest dreams!

You know, I have found it kind of amazing at how many things from my childhood have basically become obsolete….OR they have been remade and renamed and redistributed.  I would have to say that yomega maverick is something that I never experienced, but yo-yo’s are.  I MISS being able to get a GOOD yo-yo…and slinkies….and ALOT of other things.  I hate to say it, but I find it kind of sad that when they remake alot of those, they make them not worth having.

Have a blessed night!

The plans for parts of our property are coming along!  We continue to make a stride here and a stride there.  All of these plans are meant to improve the property, not only for when and if we ever want to sell it, but also to try things out for our next property.  If, say, the solar hot water heater doesn’t work on this property as well as we figure it should, then there would be no reason to waste the time, materials, money and energy in building a similar one when we get another property.  The attic is the same way….we are planning to insulate a certain way and finish it off in a certain to see how really comfortable it is in the Summers and Winters.  With the coming outage, our attic should be finished, as well as our cabin, and we will very possibly have a set of adult bunk beds
in the cabin by the time the outage comes around next Fall.  It won’t be fancy and it won’t have much, but it will be a place for someone to lay their head on their off hours, and that’s basically all these outage workers are concerned about.

You all have a BLESSED week!

….several little things and some not-so-little things to make our life a bit more simple here at the farm.

We need:  more garden hoses;  a couple of more metal water troughs;  some more HDMI cables;  a couple of more stock tank heaters;  the rest of the material for curtains;  insulation for the attic;  the shed in the backyard moved;  dog collars;  more milk jugs….and the list for the farm will go on and on and on and on.  Farm life says that, when you finally get some of the things on your list of needs and/or wants, there are ALWAYS items to replace them.

Have a BLESSED week!

…that I will ever need to do any research for sectional sofas los angeles bound.  We have a sectional…or should I say…part of a sectional that someone blessed us with a couple of years ago.  We actually ditched the corner section of it because it just did not fit into the floor plan of our house very well.  The other two sections work fairly well, though.  I can’t really ever see us with a full sectional sofa, especially in Los Angeles, though I am SURE there are ALOT of people in Los Angeles that have sectional sofas that actually work with the floor plan of their house.

Have a VERY blessed week!
