Homestead Blog Hop 560

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Hello!

We are having Autumn in August, and I’m loving it!

Cool nights and pleasant days are what we are getting all week! It’s wonderful!

Out in the garden, we’ve had some destruction! Raccoons are definitely pests, and they made short work of all MY garden endeavors!

It’s hard to know whether to be mad or something else. I was pretty mad/frustrated/discouraged, and then the next day saw the cutest little baby raccoon by the road and his cuteness kind of deflated some of that emotion for the other guys who trashed our garden.

Living in the country is always interesting, that’s for sure.

If you know any tips for keeping coins out of the corn, by all means, share them! There’s always next year!

Have a great day, and may your corn grow tall and may the critters steer clear of it!

On a more enjoyable note, I finally got some fish for our tank, and that has created a whole new entertainment arena for our cat, Squirt! She even talks to them!

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically, anything related to homesteading.
