I know a lot of you that I’ve talked to in person say the same thing: “We don’t want to bother you with questions…” But guys, that’s my job (think “job security”) and besides that I LOVE to help you out with your day-to-day questions. They don’t have to be earth-shaking ones, just questions that will make your life easier as it goes along. So stop being polite and ask away!<\/p>\n

Our friend Eric stopped by the other day for a visit bringing with him some of his awesome hand-crafted knives he makes. We already have two of his creations and they always bring comments when others come by to visit. (They hang from our new rock wall behind the woodstove.) Eric is a true artist and his unique knives are awesome. He has a site on Etsy, Northside Knife, where he sells them. Like us and our mini-seed business, Eric not only makes knives as a hobby but to help support his homestead.<\/p>\n

Hondo is learning to bring in firewood, just like his “big brother,” Spencer. Now if we can just teach the dogs to open the stove and toss it in… Honestly, we have the smartest dogs! Hondo already knows how to put the cows and goats in, sit, lie down, come (usually) and bring in firewood, along with “house” meaning go in your crate for a goodie. He’s still wiggly but as he settles down we’ll add more commands to his list. (I’m thinking, wash the dishes, mop the floor, but Will is thinking more like stay, go around, load up in the car.) Hondo, who took a trip all the way down to central Illinois at 6 weeks and did great, now gets car sick! When he gets in the car he drools and throws up! Will is working with him, only loading him in the car while it’s sitting, then taking him out, then driving only around the loop around our buildings. Hopefully he’ll soon love to “go” just like Spencer does.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I plant the first of our tomatoes! I’m so excited. I keep looking at the calendar thinking “only a few more weeks until dirt”… Sigh. But we still have lots and lots of snow on the ground. Soon… — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
