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…
Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop! Morning, Y’all! I don’t actually use that word much, but it’s a good Southern greeting! Every day that I wake up, I’m surprised at how cool it’s been for mid-June! Low 50’s feels amazing, and the breezy days in the 70’s have been wonderful! Those temps are energizing, and…
Garden Season I feel like I have an official red neck. After spending the past three days working on garden stuff, I guess I earned it. I finally got the gardening bug. I’ve been completely not into it this year, but with our son doing therapy in just one city now, things have slowed for…

Hey, Ladies! That’s what I said as I tromped through the woods yesterday morning. I sent out in search of my old friends, and before long, I found one. Then two, then many! This time of year, I find my ladies out there where they appeared last Spring! Sometimes they even multiply! I do love…
Summary of Austin’s Recovery I have several blog followers who only come for the blog hops! That’s perfectly fine, and when I’ve had time, I’ve also visited other blogs for their blog hops! If you’re a blog hop follower, you may have missed the most terrifying/stressful/miraculous/encouraging set of circumstances that our family has recently gone…

Austin is our eldest son. Yesterday my husband got the call no one wants to answer. A firefighter notifying him of a serious accident. He didn’t have much info, but stated that Austin was being airlifted to Knoxville. The only thing he knew was that he for sure had a broken ankle. When I got…
Homestead Happenings Anyone who’s been reading my blog knows some of the trouble we’ve had with our wood planter, a necessary machine either all the tongue and groove/shiplap we are doing in our cabin. It’s been one thing after another, but recently it dawned on us that we just needed to replace it. Hard…
