little grapes: December 2011
http://littlegrapes.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 12, 2011. We wrapped up our focus on all things gingery this morning when we finally decorated our gingerbread cookies. They were delicious. The recipe I used. Made cookies less in the tangy ginger vein and more in the sweet, spiced cookie vein. They were mild tasting, the dough was easy to work with, and they ended up perfectly crisp - just right for decorating and for dipping in afternoon coffee. It would whisper to me. More on St. Nick as the week progresses. Past its expiration date&...

In pursuit of green life and big sky. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. We are almost there.to the finish line on the house, that is. The bulk of our kitchen cabinets and countertop have now been installed. Our drywall is installed and finished. And our electrician, plumber, and septic installer have put us on their schedule for next available. But most notably, all financing has been secured for the complete finish. What a weight off my shoulders! As I mentioned in a previous post. For the poultry themselves, ...

Heirloom Homestead: March 2011
http://heirloomhomestead.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
In pursuit of green life and big sky. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. I grabbed a few quick minutes over the past couple weeks (okay, really. I had to grab a few hours to do the job well) and I planted some peas. And onions for us. I was already feeling behind on my spring planting. Since weve had such unseasonably warm March weather so far. Then a. Cold spell hit over the weekend reminding me that it really is just. March I now feel perfectly caught up. Yay! Weeds for me around my peas. Some heavy row cover fa...

In pursuit of green life and big sky. Sunday, July 11, 2010. We're good, tired but good.". And how's Mazzy doing with a new baby in the house? Oh, fine. She's taken to Jeff now and she's very good with the baby. Very gentle.". But how are you. Oh, good. Tired, but good.". These are the questions I get from nearly everyone these days. And those are my standard responses. Why does everyone ask almost the same questions? Why do I give the same standard responses? Crafting with Sydney or dancing with Mazzy?

http://heirloomhomestead.blogspot.com/2011/05/moving-time.html
In pursuit of green life and big sky. Thursday, May 12, 2011. As Ive written about many many (too many? Times, we are building a. House on our land while we reside in a house trailer adjacent to it.

Plumbing, electric, water) running through the walls. Now we have all. When people ask me, So when are you moving in?

In pursuit of green life and big sky. Thursday, April 15, 2010. How we love Spring. Just a few pictures this time. We are super busy around here, what with the sun shining every day. Really! It's the best Spring tonic ever, but it doesn't have any interest in sharing me with the computer. So I thought I'd update with a few pictures of all the outside stuff we've been doing that has kept me away. Jeff built me a small greenhouse. Out of old windows. Yay! Here is a view of our strawberry patch. Here is a c...

http://heirloomhomestead.blogspot.com/2008/10/once-upon-time.html
In pursuit of green life and big sky. Sunday, October 19, 2008. Once upon a time. Once upon a time there was a family of three, hoping for four. And that family was like most other American families. They filled their days with friends, work, shopping, and television. They had credit cards. They had a mortgage. They had a nice little brick house with a nice little fenced yard in a nice little neighborhood in the suburbs. The project is underway. One day they will move to their land, hike in their woo...

Heirloom Homestead: goodbye january!
http://heirloomhomestead.blogspot.com/2011/02/goodbye-january.html
In pursuit of green life and big sky. Monday, February 7, 2011. As I type this, my Macbook Time and Date tells me it is January 31st, 2011. I remember January of last year as my own private purgatory. I was waiting on a new baby, a new house, a new schedule, happiness, life to resume I guess. I felt the four walls of the. Trailer close their icy cold non-insulated grip around my neck while I pined out the window at the oppressive grey skies. Grey. Grey after day after grey after day. Jeff has been able t...
