A little of what's going on.

This weekend has been a really good. We were able to get just about all our plants planted. I'll say we planted about 120 plants. There were about 72 Roma tomato plants. I really like that kind for making salsa and sauces. We had less than 50 last year and I just was not able to can enough to put away for the winter. That's why I have so many tomato plants. We really like having chili, pasta, and salsa with our tomatoes. I am trying some new peppers this year, they are Anaheim. I also have a few bell peppers. Were I bought my plants they only had a few left. I do hope to get some more bell peppers when they get them in. We still need to plant some more seeds like squash, melons, green bean, and corn. Our potatoes are getting big already. I didn't get a chance to put in lettuce or spinach yet but it may be too late, I need to look it up. Josh bought me some black berry and blue berry bushes this year and we are needing to get them in here soon.

Our baby rabbits are getting so big. The older set by mommy doe have there eyes open and are hopping around. They are so cute! They should be starting to eat some grass and hay soon. We should be having some more baby rabbits with in a week or so. I am so excited!

Joseph is turning one next month and it is so hard to believe. We are thing about having a BBQ for his birthday. Savannah has been doing really well she enjoy singing a lot. She learn Our God is an awesome God in sign language. She looks so cute doing it and she loves to perform too!

Josh has been hard at work like always. It seems like he always has a few projects to work on so he is never is board. He is getting close to having our farm truck ready for hay season.

Sewing is one of my joys







This last pic is a quilt that I did for my niece. I did it a little different than the traditional quilts you may see.



Around Christmas I wanted to do something that might be able to get me some extra money for gifts and I started sewing aprons, pot holders and plastic bag holders. Well a few people were wondering what else I do so I have started my own a little at home business being a seamstress. I was wanting an embroidery machine too. And Josh ended up getting one for me and God really blessed us with one that was about half the normal price and it was barley used. God is so good. So I have been doing some purses now and people are liking them! I like that I can do this as fast as life can allow with me being a stay at home mom and homeschooling oh and some of the other farming going on LOL.

Mager cold front passed through!







A little while back it started to warm up around here and then a cold front came through and gave us 12 inches of snow. Wow I think that now is for sure the most snow we have ever got. I would say this whole winter we have got a lot more snow than we have before which is ok with me because it's not like we are having to deal with it all the time. It sure was funny to see my dog trying to walk through it. It was all the way up to his chest....LOL My friend has really small dogs she said that you could hardly see the top of here dogs head....LOL....LOL and one of them was bouncing through it LOL I wish I could have seen that!
