Butchering Day
No store bought chicken can compare to the delicious flavor that farm fresh chicken can bring to your dinner table. Such a rich flavor comes from chicken from your own backyard. But in order to get it you have to have….butchering day. Now, a fair warning: there will be a lot of graphic pictures in […]
Post-Hurricane Matthew
Well, we made it. Hurricane Matthew blew through our area in the wee hours of the morning and, except for a slight few branches blown down, it left us untouched. It is truly an amazing thing. The winds were whipping the trees around, but our home was entirely sound. The water in our pond creeped […]
Hurricane Matthew Prep
He’s on his way, and his track is aimed right for us. I think in a situation like this it’s difficult to feel entirely prepared. Can you ever do enough? Scott put up the hurricane shutters.
The Chicken Coop
My Handy Hubby is at it again! And this time he has built the most amazing chicken coop. With a few finishing touches yet to go, I thought I’d share what he’s done so far, as I am super proud of him and what he’s accomplished!
A Rabbit Habitat….A Rabbitat
There isn’t much cuter than a little bunny. Their sweet little ears, twitchy noses, and that soft, soft fur. So precious. We are all suckers for rabbits over here. Each of the girls has her own, the latest addition occurring very recently after a trip to the feed store where 5 precious little bunnies awaited […]
Gifts for Daddy
Sunday was a fabulous day for Daddy. It was his first Father’s Day with all four of his babies, so that was special for him. He woke up to pancakes and coffee, followed by a couple of games the girls and I put together for him.
{My Handy Hubby} Pool Progress Report – Day 3 and 4
It’s painting day! Scott brick sanded the cement spots and the pool was sealed/painted by him and his wonderful parents (that’s where he gets his handy hubby-ness). The pool used to be white. Of course, when I say white I do mean gray, as cleaning it was impossible. Now, it’s blue! It’s going to take […]
{My Handy Hubby} Pool Progress Report – Day 2
Today the pool got super cleaned! Pressure washed and acid washed (a different decade and we could’ve thrown a pair of jeans in there with it!). After it dried nicely, the guys patched the holes and big cracks with concrete. One step closer to a fabulous pool! Tomorrow, I believe, will bring painting sealant on […]
{My Handy Hubby} Pool Progress Report – Day 1
Today is the first day of our pool reconstruction. Our impossible to clean pool. And you’ll see why. Our pool is a fiberglass pool. When the previous pool refinishers refinished the pool ( 🙂 ), they did a not-so-good job. They put the wrong kind of coating on the pool, causing cracks and, let’s face […]
{My Handy Hubby} From Mountain Man to Mohawk Scott
Scott and his friends are having a beard growing contest. Every week they post pictures of themselves and their progress. Scott is in the lead so far, but the contest ends in May (something I am looking forward to). I’m not opposed to beards. But Scott is turning into a mountain man. At first he […]
