Excerpts from a Journal Junkie

from the homesteading journal. . .

The goat shed is finally up and ready for winter. It's been painted with primer, but we will now have to wait to paint it after winter.  He's so happy with his new house.


from the handiwork journal . . .



I finished one square baby blanket for the baby due next month (extended family member).  I missed the baby shower when I was sick.
 (rose pink)
I also finished one baby bib.  I just have to sew on the button. 
 

from the family journal . . . 

. . .some kids are in big trouble this morning.  I am crunching something underneath my feet in the kitchen.  I can remember when it used to be legos underneath my bare feet when they were very little kids. Boy those hurt!


from the gratitude journal . . .

Today I am thankful for:

~propane in our tank


~a beautiful sunrise that I was able to view.  In a few minutes after I took the photo, the sky literally turned gray.
~the extra drying racks that my mother gave me.
~slippers to keep my feet warm.
~endless projects to keep my mind busy.
~God's Love.
~the heating pad that is helping my sore ear.
~more cut firewood.
~friends.
~socks.

YAY for the goat house!!
The baby items turned out very nice, I'm sure they will be appreciated!
Hmmm...I don't have children, just a husband, and I'm constantly crunching as I walk across the kitchen floor! LOL!!
