Yard Work at the Homestead
Hello everyone. This past weekend, we ventured back out to the property to do a little bit of yard work. In one of our previous posts, “Surprise, Surprise! What We Found On The Land“, we talked about going out to the land and doing some brush hogging. Well, that involved a rental truck, rental ramps, and a rental brush hog – and all of that equaled dollars!! [Read more…] about Yard Work at the Homestead
GIS: A Powerful Tool for Your Property Search – Part 1
Hello Everyone. Today, I want to share with you one of the tools we used in our search for land and I will do this in two parts. In today’s post, I will do an introduction to GIS and how you can potentially locate the tool for your area. In the second part, I will talk more about how we used the tool in hopes that it can help you on your journey as well. Also, I will try my best not to geek out.

Trellising Those Cucumbers
Hey All. I hope you are having a happy Monday. I just wanted to share with you a quick trellis project I undertook for our cucumbers. It started out with me tossing some cucumber seeds into our second self-watering planter. This one was unfinished, but I figured I had time to put the wooden cover on it later. Boy, that was a mistake. Those cucumber plants took off with growth and before I knew it, I needed a trellis! [Read more…] about Trellising Those Cucumbers
Banana Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes
Updated 02/25/2019: Made some adjustments to the recipe. After looking back at it, the measurements were mixed up.
Lately, I have been trying to eat a little healthier. I have been cutting out a lot of the white flour items and replacing them with whole wheat flours. Essentially, I am cutting back on the carbohydrates (carbs) a little. The thing is that our bodies need carbs in order to properly function, so we cannot just completely cut them out.
As it just so happens, I love bread. Period. I love bread. On a recent visit to the doctor, I was told to cut back on the carbs a little and my response was like, “Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!” [Read more…] about Banana Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes
Driveways & State Maintained Roads
So, the saga continues. If you recall in our last journey update, we were working on access to our property. If you missed it, hop on over to the blog post about “Easements and Road Frontage” and check it out first. As we continue to work on access to our property, things never seem to be as easy as they ought to be.
