Healthy Self Reliance
This morning, my usual circus and pony show with the poop patrol, feeding critters, carrying pails of water….then finally able to sit with my second cup of coffee on the front porch and starting to really zen out…sun is rising through the clouds, barnyard is quiet.
An Elderberry Poem My uncle is a jack of all trades… He was a barber, he was a police detective, he was a park ranger and there are probably a few I’ve long since forgotten (or never even knew!) 😉 But these days, as the whirlwind of activity that used to keep you in a …
And, The past two day here at Broadley Penitentiary have been interesting to say the least and with the onset of yet another snow event, I am feeling the extra work with having the Frolicking Frisky Fat girls amongst the prisoners. The Little Nasties have gone on strike and not laid their little duckie eggs …

And, I woke up this morning with grand plans…and rolling out of bed I hit the floor running. Grabbing my coffee, I held it in one hand while busily putting away dishes with the other as I wanted a clean counter top to make Whoopie Pies which I planned to bring to my brother later …
Good morning 🙂 The human body fascinates me. It is strong, resilient and this working machine, if working properly, carries us day in and day out. Yet, one wrong move, one simple twist and the body will let you know who’s in charge… As a homesteader my work starts at dawn and all through the …
