The Heart of the Homestead
Monday, August 11, 2008
This has been a long break for me in the blogging world. Tonight my hubby said he has missed seeing me blog. So after a long break I will post a little of what has been going on. Our garden has came and went. My hubby plowed what was left of the weeds and grass. It was the worst garden that we have ever had. Partly due to my failure to weed as needed. Next year I think we will have to find another spot for it. We need to replenish the earth in that spot. We have wonderful church friends who gladly have given us their surplus. I put up 200 ears of corn about a month ago. Lots of green beans too and just tonight she sent 2 bucket fulls of tomatoes.
Our calves are doing great. We now have 2 horses. Duke and Gracie. Duke is a walking horse and Gracie is a spotted saddle horse. Our Rhode Island Red hens are the settingest things I have ever seen. I prefer to have layers only and not setters. We got some Red Stars about 2 months ago. I can't wait until they start laying.I will phase the Rhode Island Reds out. 
     The girls started back to school today. Britt is a senior and Abigail is in 4th. Chad completed his first year of college and also finished his EMT class and passed his national registry exam. He is now an EMT. I am so proud of him. Next week-end he will be going off to college. It's 3 hours away. I know I will see him regularly but we will still miss him being here.  I will get on track and start blogging again. I have missed you all.
Love, Tina
