\"Kitchen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Slowly, over the last year, we’ve been buying one base kitchen cabinet at a time as we could afford it. Then a piece of counter top. And another. Finally, we got them all! And today, while I was working on the computer upstairs, Will tore out the old metal sink base and $3 dishwasher and is getting ready to install the cabinets on the last wall. Wow, it took a long time to buy everything for that short run of cabinets because there were two cabinets, a sink, faucet, and countertop to buy before anything could be put together. And with our no-loan attitude, it took months to get it all. Now our patience is rewarded. Yipeee, I can hardly wait until it’s finished!<\/p>\n

After Will got over the worst of his stomach flu, he finished up the body of the bathroom vanity. We have the faucets. (I’ve had them for seven years, just waiting for that vanity.) So there’s another installation project on the to-do-soon list.<\/p>\n

\"Sink-in\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I packed the first of our seed orders for our little homestead seed business and am working on an article for the magazine.<\/p>\n

And I FINALLY got the snow off the goat barn path with the snow blower. It was packed hard from walking on and boy was it tough to remove! I had to chop the snowplow berm up with the shovel before it could be blown away. But, hey, it’s gone now and it’s so much easier to haul feed and water to the goats rather than climb over that three foot frozen hump of snow four times a day. It doesn’t take much to make a homesteader happy, does it? A warm fire, good health, plenty of food for us and the critters, shelter, and easier chores. And spring right down the road!<\/p>\n

The wolves are breeding and that usually doesn’t happen until a month from now. Hopefully they know that we’ll be having an early spring? (How do I know? They “mark” the snow banks all down our driveway when they’re romantic. No wolf pee all winter, then every few feet there’s a signpost, well tracked with wolf tracks and scratches. We can wish, can’t we? — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
