It has been awhile since we put out a video. We really would like to make more of them to document the types of things we are working on but usually we are too tired. 🙂 Anyway, enjoy!

Contentment is a funny thing. One day life is simple and clear and contentment shines through the clouds like sunshine the morning after a rain. Then one day there is too much stuff or jobs or activities or possibilities and life simply gets in the way of that contentment. Over the past couple of years…
Ruthie really seems to like the Creamy Dairy-Free Sweet Potato Soup. The strike is over! The hens returned to laying a few weeks ago after a few months of molting and whatever other reason they had for giving a couple of eggs a day. We are currently in our garden break for the year. This…

Maybe it’s the new baby in the house… or perhaps the entire month of February in which our whole family was sick. Or, maybe we could chock it up to two full and lovely weeks of family visiting… and the car accident that kept them here a bit longer. (They were spared injury but the…
Planning for…. the fall garden. We ordered just a few seed packets after taking inventory. We’ll be starting flats of greens and herbs, working beds for root vegetables, and trying to focus on really improving a few spaces. Finally realizing… that maybe we’ve stretched it all too thin. Our two major garden spaces are both…
Lately I have been feeling a bit of a general time crunch that has coincided with a conviction that I need to be more deliberate in ordering my days. I’m very type B and have no natural proclivity for organization, scheduling, or deadlines. So, homeschooling and caring for four young children with weekly freelance deadlines…

So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!
Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand. I held the post as my husband poured dry cement mix into the hole and tamped it down to pack it around the post. Moisture from the surrounding ground usually set the cement overnight. They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
