Some would say, “It’s just a goat!” But My Cowboy and I both firmly believe that if you own livestock, or animals of any kind, then you have an important responsibility to take care of them the best that you can, no matter what — no matter the weather, no matter the problem, no matter […]

I feel like I’ve been sewing in slow motion, so to have a few things done and off my plate feels pretty good! I finished this flower pillow that I started a couple years […]

My sister and her husband had to go out of town for the weekend, so we babysat my sister’s two bottle calves, Rocket and Dodger. They rode up to our farm with her […]

But never fear, if you don’t want to use a Honeycomb, the instructions include how to make it without that, just in case you were wanting to maybe possibly use up some scrappage? […]

If I find out there actually IS such a place, I’ll be floored . . . OK, maybe I got up a bit too early this morning. But before […]
