About Me:

In 2006 I quit my city job of 20+ years to remarry, move and become a "farm wife". For the most part, I am a stay at home mom.

As of the 2007 school year, we are a homeschooling family.

We also farm. Our farms include a large garden, haying, horses, cows, geese, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits, 2 stocked ponds, small vineyard and an orchard.

We live at the main farm (the one with the animals) and our other farm is currently growing hay, nuts and firewood to harvest this fall.
In the spring we will be adding sheep, and turkeys.

We have 5 daughters, (including 2 sets of twins) 3 who are still at home.

I love to camp, travel, garden, fish, bake, do needlework, sew, genealogy and ride horses. One of my favorite places to travel to is Northern Indiana (LaGrange county), where I have Amish cousins and to learn about my ancestors.

My goal is to help this family stay on track financially and to stay out of debt, other than our mortgage.

It is windy. Too windy to do what I planned to do outside. We could do what I planned to do tomorrow today, but that would be a trip to the city, and I am "too cheap" to drive and pay for the fuel for a 63 mile round trip. So, as a result I am bored.
We did run out of milk, so I guess I will run to the little town and get a gallon. That will kill some time. So, I guess I will do that, then come home and possibly read.
Isn't it funny how we complain our lives are too busy and we want a quiet day. Then we get one and complain as well.....It doesn't help that it is dark, dreary, windy, cold and damp outside either...
