BOYDS CREEK ACRES

No new dog
We had a Great Pyaranees on trial here last week but things dod not go well.
Our current Pyrs was not happy. The new dog "Rufus" wanted tot ake over and I think they both got the best of each other. Back to the pound he went. He had another family waiting to hear if things didn't work out with us. So now we are considering a puppy. All the work and all the fussing. But I know the children wil enjoy having a little one around here since they grow so quickly.
On another note: Do you gring yoru own wheat? We do and today I attempted to make some Flax seed whole wheat bread. The last couple of times I was very intent and followed the instructions. Today, however, I messed up the one thing you NEVER want to mess up. I put the flax into the grinder instead of the blender and it about killed my machine. The thiogn completely died. Fortunetly my dh was able to fix it so we are up and running again. I was in a state of panic wondering what I was going to do without my grinder. This is the only source of flour we use. We use freshly ground flour for just about everything. This includes pancakes, waffles, cakes and ofcourse bread.
I will be sure to be more alert next time I need ground flour. Although I did find a nicer mill I would have loved to have owned but I am very thankful that this one is still up and running.
This weekend I plan on organizing indoors, starting on the closets and the kitchen cabinets. My hope is to be ready for spring and venture outdoors more. That will be a challenge as I am such a homebody!

I just received the WonderMill for Christmas. I love it so far. Thank you for telling me about the flax seeds. Have you looked at www.breadbeckers.com? They have some good recipes.
This is my 2nd week to do a major cleaning/organizing overhaul of my little abode. It has been therapeutic to throw things out. Have fun.
Blessings to you and yours,

Yes, I understand the puppy dilemma... all the hassle.. but it doesn't last too long, considering the benefits of trainingyour own dog.
Jen mentioned about grinding her own grains, too. I am very interested. I will be checking into that. I did find an organic seed company that has grain seeds in NM.
Nicee seeing you this weeekend!
Take care-
