Let me tell you a story Yesterday, I needed to head to town. I grabbed the money to pay a bill, and planned to zip down my driveway. Once I hopped into my SUV and bumped down the gravel drive. Yes, I said bumped. Somehow I missed the fact that the trash trailer was hooked…
Happy Sunday to you, Friends! Here in upper East Tennessee, where we live, it’s been a week of rain! Rain happened most days, and we have the mud to prove it! Of course our plants are kind of happy about that! I’m afraid I may have overdone it on the cucumbers, and now they’re going…
Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop! A sunflower a day Over on my Instagram page, I have started a little thing, called “A Sunflower a Day”. It’s pretty much what it sounds like. I have so many flowers to share that it’s kind of fun to showcase them where more can see the beauties! My…
Happy Father’s Day! To all the dads out there, who show up when it’s hard, who support their wife, who take the time with the their kids–you definitely deserve some accolades!

First Sunflowers Out in the garden, I’ve got volunteers–some are six feet tall! I’ve been planning to get outside and plant some of the sunflower seeds I saved from last year, but so far that hasn’t happened. That’s why I’m even more delighted to find volunteers! These come from my big sunflower patch of all…
