Monday, October 12, 2009. Forecast: 100% Chance Of Freezing Bunny Water. The chicken water was another thing entirely. I had recently purchased a 5 gallon galvanized waterer. When 5 gallons freezes in a few hours, you know its cold! We found the tutorial for constructing our own heated base. It was extremely easy! Ingredients: Metal Tin w/ a lid. (we used a cookie tin). Like the one shown here. We picked it up at the hardware store for $8. 40 watt bulb (the ones shaped like a candle). We Wish You a Merry...

Apron Strings and Chicken Wings: June 2010

Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Each season has its own delicious morning beauty, enhanced by a steaming mug of hot coffee. In the spring I am so thankful that there is no snow and I wrap in a quilt and sit on my porch just admiring the waking of the world after a long winters nap. I note the buds on the trees and the warming of the soil and the anticipation of planting my garden fills me with joyful impatience. I am thankful for mornings. All things are new. All things are possible in the morning. I...For those...

Thursday, May 20, 2010. My daughter holding Elsie. I have always dreamed of being a farm-girl. When I lived in the city in Florida, I would line my journals with poems and pictures of the life that tugged at my soul. The desire to connect with the land and nature in this way overwhelms me at times. I have pondered, during moments such as these, where that particular dream may have come from. The obvious answer is that I inherited it from my once upon a time Farm-Girl Mother. She is on her knees in the pe...

Saturday, March 28, 2009. The Lazy Chicks Method of Gardening. Its been a lazy Saturday. Its been in the high 40's but for some reason feels cooler than that. Not quite gardening weather just yet. My chickens begged to differ. I woke up this morning to a horrible screeching/crowing sound coming from Elsie (the lighter colored blond. Was good enough to slip on her shoes and go open the Coop and run door to see if this was the problem. Orabelle. Jumped up and out of the run as soon as M'Kayla. I am pretend...

Monday, October 11, 2010. Tension Tamer, the name of the tea I am drinking this morning instead of my usual black coffee. My taste buds, while not at all averse to the pleasant play of lemon and herbs is wondering where in the heck the coffee is. My mind is sort of wondering too, although lately its been so busy running an endless cycle of worries that I am surprised it even noticed. How to tie my shoes. out. How to speak in complete sentences out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). For those that have found yo...

Apron Strings and Chicken Wings: A Lesson In The Rain
http://apronstringsandchickenwings.blogspot.com/2012/06/lesson-in-rain.html
Wednesday, June 6, 2012. A Lesson In The Rain. So this morning, it is pouring. Yesterday evening the rain started, and it is thick and heavy and concealing, and I love it. I felt content in my robe, with organic Montana Morning Coffee from Coffee Traders (The BEST coffee around) in hand and newspaper on the table, it was set to be a good morning. I got dressed and got my keys and started the car. Then I came in and looked at her. My heart broke. What in the hell was I doing? We darted to the car, and it ...

Apron Strings and Chicken Wings: Post Traumatic Sadness. . . and then Spring.
http://apronstringsandchickenwings.blogspot.com/2011/03/post-traumatic-sadness-and-then-spring.html
Sunday, March 13, 2011. Post Traumatic Sadness. . . and then Spring. I have no right to be sad, but I am. Lu on my bed. In late September of last year, Lulu my precious pug died in my arms. What a gift she was. Just as I did with my daughter, I kissed her cheeks, her eyelids, memorized her smell and held her until I was ready to let her go. God Bless that wonderful vet who cried tears with me. I will never forget that. Lulu and Opus at Granny's. 1 day after surgery. I started this blog entry 2 weeks ago ...

Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Ripples of Memories (with link to Ripple Afghan Pattern). I had such a great time making this because my daughter M'Kayla. Being 18, will not have so much time in the future to knit and crochet with her mama. I think that this will be a mothers day present to myself. A weaving of memories. I used this great simple pattern here. If anyone wants to give it a go. Its easy, mindless, and great relaxation :). Friday, May 8, 2009. When you pour bleach into a tub of water.look away! Yes, ...
