Tomorrow the Prairie Kids and I will be preparing for the cold weather. We will be filling the wood rack on the front porch, stuffing hay in all the animal shelters, putting a heat lamp on the quail, guinea pigs, cats, dogs. They will all have to share. Putting out the heating pad under some burlap sacks for the cats to pile onto. Most of the little critters like to stack themselves in piles on the front porch. It is SO funny to see.
Had another great bartering this month. I LOVE our Barter Days. So much fun!
I look forward to it every month, just for the fellowship with like minded folks.
PH put in our new toilet last weekend. So excited! We now have a flushing toilet in the house. I feel so fancy! There is even a door! (gasp). Privacy, what a novel idea.
See the sink? A couple of years back we had a new "neighbor". They put a small cabin on their land, then promptly never came back. During a storm, their cabin blew to pieces. Called the land agent to see if we cleaned up the property if we could keep any items (we had scoped it out beforehand). He said yes! We came away with two bathroom sinks (one is above), a roll of barbed wire, a large plastic trash can on wheels, a gas can, an igloo cooler and assorted tools. Pretty cool! A brand new sink we have been saving for just this time!
PS#2 turns five in two weeks. It sure went by fast. PS#1 turns 25 too! I feel too young to have a kid that old!
Learning lots, cleaning up the property, splitting wood, baking and learning to eat REAL FOOD. (See 100 Days of Real Food Blog - very cool!)
Nice!! Indoor facilities with a DOOR!!!
