THE STATE OF THINGS…
Lately I’ve been thinking about “the state of things”; the state of my household (that’s for another post), the state of our state, the state of our nation and the state of our world. Sometimes it’s easy to put blinders on and just go about your daily life; work, school, home etc. especially when it … Continue reading
Bt Corn and other stuff
I posted this picture on our FaceBook page the other day. There was quite a discussion on the “benefits”(insert sarcasm here) of GM products and the company producing it. Anyway, one of the trends in conversation was “cant trust any food unless you grow it yourself” and/or “guess I … Continue reading

We picked up our new LGD (livestock Guardian Dog) yesterday. Arya (pronounced Are-EE-Ya) is and Anatolian/Akbash and she is 8 weeks old. We had a little bit of a rough night last night; she misses her siblings and the goats are NOT happy about this new thing in the barn. Its difficult to not cuddle … Continue reading

A beautiful little buckling and a teeny tiny doeling! All are doing great! *sorry the pictures are … Continue reading
2012 Earth Day Food and Wine Festival @ Pomar Junction
Whew!! What a day!! I had a fabulous time at the EDFW12 on Saturday. This was our first “event” so I wasn’t sure what to expect exactly. We had a great table in a very high traffic area…tons of people walked by…unfortunately, that’s what they did…just walked by. Due to some planning snags we weren’t … Continue reading
Cool Things This Week
okay, here is what I’m going to do…I follow quite a few “all-natural”, “frugal” and “homesteading” type blogs. I LOVE to read what other people are doing and their creative projects. I’ll admit it…I’m a shameless copycat! So, what I would like to do is each week, probably on Friday, I’ll post some of my … Continue reading
