the shop

The last month we have been focused on the shop. We gutted the little shed beside the front porch, put up ty-vec, closed in the wall, moved in cabinets, built shelves, and spent not nearly enough time yet organizing the tools from around the property. It has finally come together, despite still needing a bit more organizing (okay, a lot more), but it looks great! Jonathan, my dad and my cousin Billy did most of the work (I helped a little). We used all materials that we already had. This isn't exactly a "farm project", but with this new shop set up we have the larger shed to use as our barn! Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I am very disappointed that I won't be eating a pasture raised, organic bird that I raised, but there's always next year. Yeah, definitely next year. Best wishes to everyone!

the first storm

I'm a little late in sharing our adventures of the first storm of the winter season, but it's better late than never, right? Life has been a bit chaotic; returning home, finding work, and fixing the Jeep have been overwhelming tasks, but we can finally cross them off our list (well, mostly.) Amist all the stress my blogging has been on the back burner, but no longer! The next few months will be busy busy busy with farm projects, and I want to share it with you every step of the way. Now, back to that storm... the clouds rolled in then the rain firewood the wind took down the pear tree also, the strawberries (granted there was not much left to them) soaked. and very dark our poor, poor tree it will heal. the morning after the biggest casualty Live simply, Angela and Jonathan

the quiet

little Billy and Zae - nap time Just a quick hello, in the midst of busy changing life. I am working at Pizza Hut (again, although a different store than before we left) and Jonathan starts next week. We are holding our breath riding the taped together Jeep until we have acceptable income for another car. Thanksgiving is this week, and I am very excited to spend some time with family. I promise to resume more interesting and timely posting very soon! Until next time, Angela Kelly

hello

Life has been slow but stressful as of late. I just started back to work at pizza hut, and finding gas money and keeping the pieces together has had me holding my breath. Luckily there are uplifting moments, like celebrating my wonderful sweethearts birthday. I'm so grateful to have him beside me. Things are rolling along, The way they always do. Until next time, Angela Kelly
