The Jowett Farmstead: April 2011
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. A Dinosaur Egg for Easter. On Easter, one of our Easter Egg'ers (so correctly named) laid the largest egg I have ever seen! The poor thing had a bloody and sore rear end, not shocking after seeing such large egg come out of such a small chicken. She has not done it again and I am sure she is relieved about that! Just so you understand the size, I have placed a regular, full sized egg next to this one:. Monday, April 18, 2011. The Turkeys Are Now Free-Ranged (kinda). The thing I fi...

The Jowett Farmstead: December 2010
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 30, 2010. It's Winter on the Farm. After being snowed in three weeks in previous years, its safe to say I properly stock up the house for all of us. From October through March, we always have at least three weeks plus of rations for all members of our house: whether human or not! Here's the homestead around 1:30 or so when we arrived home from running a few last minute errands and stocking up for the weekend on Wednesday. Every household she have duck tape if you ask me! But here me ou...

The Jowett Farmstead: Lessons on the Farm
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2012/05/lessons-on-farm.html
Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Lessons on the Farm. Today, the girls have learned two very important lessons about living on the farm and it's only 9:30am:. 1) How to dispose of the chicken that the coon got ahold of yesterday, since we found it this morning during the morning egg check. The key to this task is to hold your breath and move very, very quickly. If you follow our numbers, were down to 3 chickens now. Urrrggghhhh! Did I mention that we were are having beef for a few days! View my complete profile.

Another Happy Day: August 2012
http://kellyshappyday.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 22, 2012. I'm the owner of a Hot Dog ring. Those are eight words that I never would have even dreamt would have spewed out of my keyboard. Who wears these things? Or who even MAKES things like this in hopes they will sell? Like who lays in bed thinking. "Today I'm going to make a hot dog ring." Who DOES THAT? And I did just that. I couldn't go almost anywhere without someone asking."How many are you up to now, Kelly? But I have a hot dog ring. Joanna. I love you too. Links to this post.

Another Happy Day: November 2011

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. He's in the details. She and I have spent hours and hours building trust. Quality time that only the God of us both could have orchestrated. I adore her. Well, she's a talker. I adore that about her. She ALWAYS has a story or two or three about anything and everything. When you sit down with her you quickly realize that she is a rare find. A jewel. After all, if something happened to Amos, then what will happen to her and the kids. Sure, I can see the whole picture. When Paul ...

Another Happy Day: March 2012
http://kellyshappyday.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 29, 2012. And this is why. Enter a list. I know a blogger no-no. but deal. Here are the reasons I hate running. The weather isn't always cooperative. It takes time out of my creative days. My body screams at me "this is dumb" in the process. Did I mention that I am slow? There Seeing that list, I'm betting your wondering why I DO run. I run because God says to take care of his temple, and I am that temple. I run because if I run for 30 minutes. I can be done with my workout for the day.

Wednesday, October 3, 2012. I have become aware of the horizon. I'm not sure I have even ever thought of it being death, but I suppose that is what harvest is. Taking the fruit out and discarding the rest. In this way death is beautiful. I long for a horizon so vast in my soul that God looks at it and says to me. A horizon that does...

The Jowett Farmstead: Chapter 13: Teenagers
http://milesofmanure.blogspot.com/2012/03/chapter-13-teenagers.html
Saturday, March 24, 2012. Pre-Teen: "Mom, I can't wait to be 13! Pre-Teen: "Cause at 13 I will be a real teenager.". Oye, don't remind me child! Why is 13 such a mile stone? There must be something in history that our society believed that 13 is such a grand number. Maybe it has to due with Judaism and the belief the a boy becomes a man, girl becomes a woman, at age 13? Maybe it was the age hundreds of years ago where a girls father could sell her for a goat or a cow? How is this possible? Was I that bad?
