Our House

This time last year our house's exterior was green painted rotting OSB. Then in May/April we had the house remade with real wood log siding that was stained pecan. We will have to re-stain again this spring. But the change was worth it.

New Years Thoughts

This is the time of the year people start making new resolutions for the new year. Since we moved to the Ozarks I have crossed off most of my resolutions, dreams and wishes. I lost weight, I ride horses, I live on a farm, I have a log cabin and I have more animals than I could wish for.

But personal quilting has fallen by the wayside. I just do not have the luxury of time to sit and sew inside the house. I can make charity quilts but not quilts for myself. I am outside most of the day and night. My husband suggested leather work. Since we have found so many saddles in need of repairs and I collect tooled leather. It would be nice to learn that craft and use it. Leather can be worked outside in between chores.

So in the new year my resolutions are to finally get our house unpacked, learn leather crafting, and keep on learning from my animals the joys of farm life.

Light snow

We had some snow this weekend but it melted. It was replaced by ice and frost all around the farm. A nice sparkly way to start the week.
