This is what our weather forecast is like for the next week (and beyond) Rain, rain, rain, and more rain. To be clear, in East Tennessee, anything higher than 15% chance means, it's gon' rain. So what does that mean? It means every homestead task just got a little (lot) suckier. Chickens still need to … Continue reading The Good, The Bad, and the Rainy
Oh boy... Has anyone ever had the experience of sitting down to do your financial budget only to look up crying and ask yourself, "How did this happen!? Where does it all go!?!?" I did that, but not with money. I had this experience with my time. To make a long story slightly less long, … Continue reading Budgeting My Time
I'm wondering if maybe I should start work on some canoes. We've had nothing but rain for weeks! We finally got a dry day today, but I'll catch you up on all the rainy day work we got done. For starters, the taxes are done. Thank the Lord! I hate tax time, and I've done … Continue reading Rainy Day Work

Then I got started on phase 2, which is the balance beam... Which is a fancy term for "2x4 and some cinder blocks" I … Continue reading Fun Work Day: Playground Phase 2
I grew up in and around the Church. As a young child, I was taught the books of the Bible, I knew about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I was aware of "spiritual vocabulary"; words like sin, sacrifice, faith, Calvary (not cavalry- it's a pet peeve of mine when those two words are confused.) … Continue reading Drawn to Christ and His Word
I had some blood work done recently. It was prompted by the random seizure in November and a series of autoimmune flares apart from my usual food allergen triggers. Of course, I always jump to the worst case scenario. It's my way of bracing for bad news and making any surprises good ones. But, my … Continue reading Faith in Difficult Circumstances
I'm currently reading Surprised by Joy: The Shape of my Early Life, by C.S. Lewis. I am always blown away by how much I relate to his own conversion story and how many opinions we share. I've been so absorbed in Lewis' writing, that I found it ironic he mentioned reading what you truly love … Continue reading Reading Good Books
