farm

  • the tiny house : part 1

    Last fall we started talking about some sort of structure to build on the farm that we could use as a guest house for visitors and rental income as a farmstay + air bnb. Forever ago, when we were young, we talked about buying an old bed + breakfast as a retirement gig. Our plans… Continue reading

Hello

My bimonthly-ish notes on building a farm in the woods. Homesteading, slow living, etc.

We've been elbow deep in farm chores. The fruit trees are blooming and all the lovely little wild flowers. We're tending to 1k+ little seedlings that have taken over the living room and getting the garden ready. We planted wild ramps and ginseng in the woods and along the creek. Everything is turning green and warm and so lovely and I often find myself literally telling the plants out loud how much I adore them or standing in the warm sunshine yelling to Joe, “do you feeeeeeel that?? It's warm! It's FREE to be warm again!!!” So it's currently green and raining outside, but @sophia_miner helped me get some pictures of this finished quilt a few weeks back. Now that it's finally been gifted to the sweetest new baby, I can share it here..... Spring blossoms coming up all around. I am so happy we planted a couple hundred bulbs around the trees just beyond the garden. I was worried they might not come up through the sod - but they seemed to have no trouble at all. The best part of no flower beds is no chickens flinging poor little plants around with all their scratching! 😳😂 Big sky country. I'm in awe at how far you can see and how much of it is wide open. Of course I found some Adirondack chairs with a view. (zoom in the first photo) Traded my mud for some Wyoming mud to visit one of my favorite people. My Aunt Lori is one of the most prolific quilters I know. She sews anywhere from 12 to 24 quilts each year. She's an avid gardener and cook and preserves hundreds of jars of everything you can think of. What a beautiful first day of spring. ☀︎ ❀ ☀︎ ❀ Snow day fun with my girl. Tulips are coming up in the greenhouse, don't tell them about all this snow. 😂 It ranges from 10 inches here under the trees to a solid 18 down in the garden! Binding time....
