Winter Beauty

It is what we in the midwest refer to as the dead of winter.  Everyone has cabin fever and ready for some sunshine that doesn't come very often. We are not without things to do here though.  There is a lot happening here at home and the farm.  I have added one more title to my long list, which is Editor for a children's ministry website that I am really excited about.  I will share more on that once the site is redone and finished.  There are also some things happening with the fiber farm that I am excited about but those things are down the road just a bit so stay tuned!  A couple of Saturday's ago I took my camera out with me during chore time and did get some beautiful pictures.  There is just something about snow on the farm.








Beautiful Sunrise


It wouldn't be a farm blog without at least one animal picture.

    Beautiful, silvery snow Renee!

    It would be fun to get together and spin or knit one of these days, but life is sure crazy busy isn't it?

First Day of Homeschooling~Nearing the Finish Line

Image
We started on this journey 17 years ago, pretty much with no clue what we were doing. Hubby and I were both public school graduates, who leaped, both feet first, into the world of homeschooling with our five children. The three oldest had a year or two under their belt, the youngest two never stepped inside a school building. It was hard, wonderful, scary and fulfilling all at the same time. I know that is one my greatest achievements here on this earth.   The first day of school picture looks very different this year. Just him and I. My baby (not so much). Things change as they get older, learning to read and write is taken over by career goals and job searches. Making sure they can balance a checkbook, do laundry, and boil water for food (the struggle is real 😊😊) I find myself missing the days of reading out loud as all six of us pile on the couch in the afternoon. But as I see our four oldest ones, and the adults they have become, some married, one a mom, all working and livi

Goat Alarm

Image
Tripp and Tiberius and Momma Most farmers have roosters that let them know it is time to get up.  Not us, we picked goats.  That silly face staring at you is Robin.  She is one of the six goats that live here at Tail Spin Farm.  She is my alarm clock these days.  If I am not out to feed them before 5:45 a.m. she lets me know it is time at 5:46.  She has also taught the "new guys on the block", Tripp and Tiberius how things work so they have now joined her in her early morning tirade of goat song. I wouldn't mind it so much, except for the neighbors who live pretty close to us (we do all our "farming" on an acre!).  I would hate for there to be an issue in regards to this.  So I continue my early morning trip out to the barn hoping to beat her up.  I am just waiting for the hot days of summer and knowing that both neighbors have central air and their windows will be shut tight and I won't have to worry so much about waking someone early in the morning
