2009 reflections

Okay guys. 2010 is right around the corner. I mean seriously too. Lets see, in... 3 days!

Looking back over 2009, I see several memorable things that happened.

• We got a big garden started
• I had a birthday (does this count?)
• Lyddie was born
• Kayden came home
• First year where my grades in school actually count :)
• The Lord taught me some interesting things
• I've grown in my desire for self-sufficiency
• I sorta-kinda-a little bit- got a VERY small business going (or at least the start of one)
• I started piano again
• I got a harp
• I found my love to play music

I think that covers most of it, but of course I could go on. However, I think that is enough for now.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just musing

I've been thinking lately about something I could blog about, but could find nothing. I'd think to myself..."I really should update my blog...hhmmm, maybe tomorrow??" That's me. I love to read other people's blogs, and I know others feel the same way about mine.(or do they?) Sometimes a problem I have is not knowing what to write about. I mean, my life is anything but boring, I have plenty of things to blog about, but choosing one, and finding a time to do it is just a little challenging!

So... here is my plea(and an urgent one, mind you!)

Tell me what you want to read more of. Anything! Here are some options (but not limited too) to get you going.

• Daily life
• Random tags, or fun posts that are random(like me!!)
• Pictures of random things
• School thoughts (beware, I may use this to reteach ya'll things! Does Latin sound fun?)
• My view on Biblical topics (which will be better than it may sound!)
• Praise to the Lord
• Recipes
• Links to good videos, or songs, or my favorite blogs! (hhmmm that gave me an idea!)
• etc. etc. etc. etc...........................................(you get the point)

Let me know, by leaving a comment, with more than one option please!!

Around The Homestead

Here are some pics. to keep you updated with our life on the homestead!


Here is daddy mulching our grass for the compost pit.

Here is our dog Mena, enjoying the warm weather!

We have a big garden this year! This is a picture of some garlic daddy and I planted!

We are ready to get our bees! This is their house. It's where they will bring the pollen back to, and produce the honey!!

This is just a little plant I felt like taking a picture of! :-)

So what kind of things are you doing around your house to get ready for spring? Leave a comment to let me know, please!!!

Shalom,
