Check out more at Homestead Barn Hop #23


Well today was a SUPER busy HOMESTEAD DAY!! ;)






This afternoon we went and picked up our FIRST FARM DOG!!






WELCOME-- PATCHES!!






A four month old border collie (w/ a little mix).....






She is SOOOOO kind-- and SOOOO loving-- and such a GOOD herder!! LOL






Someone stopped by today and mentioned "oh my border collies will herd children too!" I said "Oh I hope so, I could use the help!!" LOL LOL












I'm serious-- she is SUCH a good dog!!



I've only ever had lab's before-- and they are SOOO high strung and well high strung as a puppy-- this one-- is so nice-- she will herd ya' but no jumping or anything like that!!








Here she has the boys herded!! LOL--She will sleep well tonight-- they were riding their bikes and she kept up with them!! heee heeee






Here she is in action!!






** the question of the night for me was how will she do with the goats?" She is made to herd sheep/goats etc... so that is JUST what she wanted to do when I brought them out to milk. But she kept her distance herding them-- she wasn't under their feet or CLOSE to them at all-- they did NOT like her being there-- but SHE did an excellent job!! They will adjust--- because she was very good.

Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

Immigrant 1880-1914 food budget

So we went on a mini field trip this weekend to the Johnstown Flood Museum and then to the Heritage Center -- "Through Immigrant Eyes, tells a national story in a local context. It captures the imaginations of visitors through its innovative use of interactive media. Rather than simply looking at artifacts, you'll actually experience the sights, sounds and even the smells of immigrants' daily lives, and come away with a more complete understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of these Americans in the making. As you enter, you'll choose a card with a photo of one of eight immigrant characters, who are fictional composites based on historical facts. You then experience the daily life of that character as you tour the museum. " Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...

The best way to get back in (for me) is a Day Book. I'm not sure if they even still have a "Simple Woman's Day Book" or not, but I always enjoyed them. Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016 Picture for the week........                                                The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday-- ( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  ) Outside my window..... Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy I am thinking..... About starting in with some school for the kids next week. About dipping our feet in with some potty training. About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant. I am thankful for..... ...
