Anniversary Trip

This past week hubby and I went away overnight for our anniversary. Our neighbor agreed to watch the chickens and feed/let out the dogs so we could go. On the drive to Pittsburg, PA we went though the Gap. It has really pretty views especially in the morning hours. I am usually looking up at the mountains from home. Its a different perspective looking … Read More Anniversary Trip

One of my followers- Now at Home Mom- wrote me today and noticed I had been MIA (missing in action). I have been quite busy the last month (work, family visiting, getting things ready for fall and winter, canning, etc.)  and the busy list also included a trip to the Smoky Mountains  with hubby to celebrate out 5-year wedding anniversary. It feels like yesterday … Read More Smoky Mountains Anniversary

Beauty at sunset

It was a nicer day today and the sky at sunset was pretty with all the blues and purples… The sky is always so pretty over our neighbors barn. I love to look at the clouds moving over the mountains and the fields towards our house. It is neat to see how the cloud move the colors along 🙂 It was a nice reminder … Read More Beauty at sunset

Climb…

There are always mountains to climb and goals to reach… some climbs are easy, but most require effort and some falls. In these times I trust in the Lord as I can not do it on my own… I also know I have his love and the love of my husband in these times. “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom … Read More Climb…

On the Rocks…

We have become a hiking family… whenever we can we hit the trails and explore. The pups are good at getting over the rocks and though tight spaces we have to walk in. We got a new pop up bowel for them to drink out of and our backpack holds enough water for up to a 2 hour hike. They are good company on … Read More On the Rocks…

Hiking and Happiness

The weather this week has been beautiful. Even a little shower that lasted only a few minutes was nice. Considering how hot it has been all summer this weather relief was very appreciated and allowed us to get a lot done outside as well as do some exercising. The boys have loved hiking with us this year as we are going farther, so much … Read More Hiking and Happiness

The chicken or the egg

While collecting eggs yesterday my husband found some weird ones in the nests. They were not very big and they were totally soft. Now we give our girls oyster shells they can eat as they want so we knew that was not the issue, so I went to look in the recent Chicken magazine by Hobby Farms as they just had something on this. … Read More The chicken or the egg

Singing in the rain…

Today was a rainy day… I was cold…The mountains were covered with fog and rain… it was a pretty site. I didn’t have my camera as it was charging at home, but I go this shot with my hubby’s phone.     It didn’t seem to bother the chickens… We had to return the work rags I washed for an elderly couple we help … Read More Singing in the rain…

First day of yard sales

Yesterday was the first day of the season we saw yard sale signs out. It was a very nice day and everyone was out. After we got home and picked up the dogs we went looking to see what yard sales had started.             The mountains trees around us have really started to fill in and get some color. … Read More First day of yard sales
