Hilltop Homestead: The Not-So-Lazy Crazy Daze of Summer on the Farm!
http://hilltophomesteader.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-not-so-lazy-crazy-daze-of-summer-on.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. The Not-So-Lazy Crazy Daze of Summer on the Farm! Do you see these bald spots on my head and the handfuls of hair I hold? That's because my old computer died and the new one DOES NOT LIKE ME. I couldn't sign into this blog because my old (and well-loved, I might add) computer remembered. Things for me. This one's head is empty and when I depend upon it to know my huge collections of passwords, it fails! Now how would I know what my password is? Remember, I said the computer's.

Hilltop Homestead: April 2015
http://hilltophomesteader.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. We've gone Clampetting and I've Got Bird Legs! In all our.must be almost 35 years of marriage now, we've never gone clamming before this year and suddenly that seems to be all we do. I know my family tends to compulsive-disorder-obsessive (yes, I know that's not how most people say it, but this way it's in alphabetical order.). We find something we like at the moment and then that's our focus until we find something else to tickle our fancy. Chronic illness is something you figur...

Hilltop Homestead: December 2014
http://hilltophomesteader.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. On understanding Eeyore and on being invisible. This is my maternal great grandmother. I've always thought I looked a bit like her. She looks so melancholy. She died many years before I was born, when she was only in her 50's and my grandfather was only 16 years old. Here's me, about 2 1/2 or 3 years old. Even then I couldn't quit thinking. Then there's Eeyore. He can't quit thinking either and he's feeling melancholy, too. Not to mention, invisible. In my poor befuddled sta...

Hilltop Homestead: March 2015

Friday, March 6, 2015. Swofford Pond, Elk in my Yard and Cool Old Barns! I promised to go fishing with my husband if he'd work on a certain project at home. He worked, I went fishing! Well, he went fishing, too.). Swofford Pond covers about 215 acres and is open to fishing year-round. Rainbow trout, catfish, large mouth bass and other fish reside in its depths. There were headstones of veterans from the Spanish-American War, Korean War, WWI and WWII among those buried there. On our way home we passed som...

Hilltop Homestead: November 2014
http://hilltophomesteader.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2014. The newest addition to my ever changing collection is this nice oak treadle sewing machine. It is in quite nice shape and has quite a few attachments included. On my imaginary list of machines that SHOULD be in my collection, this one was pretty near the top. My daughter found it by chance at the local Goodwill Store. It was not a bargain. It took me all of about 1/2 second to KNOW it was mine! Look at the lovely grain of that oak! Which reminds me, I need to make a set of the...

Hilltop Homestead: February 2015
http://hilltophomesteader.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 12, 2015. Green Acres is the Place to Be, Farm Living is the Life for me! Ok, so don't forget you can click on any of the pictures to follow and see them a bit larger. Living out on a fairly decent sized plot of land, surrounded by large timberland, approximately 3 1/2 miles from a tiny town (population 624) and approximately 28 miles from a bit larger town (population 7,268) which is right next to a bit larger town (population 16,660) is wonderful. What more can I say? And here's the ...

Hilltop Homestead: June 2014
http://hilltophomesteader.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 26, 2014. I live in a very GREEN part of Washington State. I always have, and I love it! We camped (yes, again! This time at Cape Disappointment State Park, home of the Cape Disappointment Lighthouse, the Coast Guard Station and former military batteries which were part of the 'Harbor Defense of the Columbia'. Originally built in 1904 with 6" guns, they were decommissioned in May of 1945. Our climate is very suited to rust, mold and decay, so much of the wood used is gone but the concrete.

Monday, October 20, 2014. Fruit Fly Traps, getting ready for Winter and Easy Macaroni and Cheese! I'm all about comfort foods at the moment. We're working hard to get everything buttoned down for the season and Nanny likes food that's easy to eat. How can you go wrong on that? When pasta is done, drain it, add it to cheese mixture, cover and bake at 350* for 30 minutes. All done. Today I finished up a pair of Californian Rabbits, a. Trio of Fat Lil Crows and started on some Gingerbread Boys. Recently we'...
