Good Morning! Pull up a seat and have a cup of coffee (or beverage of your choosing) with me! Here I am up early again. So, I'm thinking that this is a good time to do my first post. I'm surrounded by snoring dogs and lazy cats, which is a conforting feeling. Although, the calm will be broken soon since my kids will be up and getting ready to head out the door to school. I will follow shortly after. I'm hoping that this blog offers some sort of a happy and quiet retreat for you, as I have found a happy home among other blogs.
What inspired me to do this blog? I've always read that you should write down the things that you aspire to and that doing so will helps them evolve into reality. So, here I am, waiting for a new reality. Some aspirations I have for 2012 are to expand my little farm. I'm not the farmer in the traditional sense but more in the wanna be sense. I have chickens, three to be exact. I originally had six, but a neighbors dog changed that. Since I live in the city expanding my little operation will be challenging to say the least. I want to grow more food and depend on the grocery store less, my three hens are working hard and putting out nearly an egg a day so I've gone almost all winter without buying a single egg! I've been stockpiling seeds and am trying to design a garden that is both dog/hen/kid and husband friendly. I have lots of ideas, but a limited amount of $$ to do it. I am inspired by other blogs and money saving ideas that they have posted. Maybe one day I'll post some of my own ideas! Until then, have a great day!
