Guess what? Remember the cute kitchen nook with built in seats I mentioned? Well I just remembered that the two sections open for storage! Also, the weather people are predicting a wind storm like a winter storm! I love stormy weather! Well, I like it up here in the northwest. I can't imagine...

I vote for fruit salad! Actually, I've been meaning to try something I saw on allrecipes.com, called Fruit Salsa. Basically it's just lots of different kinds of fruit cut up, with a bit of marmalade to hold it together. I think you can make cinnamon sugar tortilla chips to go with it. Maybe it's...

I was just reading reviews for Penske. It got uniformly good reviews over three different opinion websites. They also have a 22' truck, which would be perfect. A sort of middle ground. I had no idea it was so complicated! I just thought, make a reservation, go pick up truck, then drop it off...

Okay, okay, I really didn't want to do it but I might. I was telling a friend about the quote from the moving company, and she freaked and told me she could get her husband and friends to help move no problem. I know them, and trust them. Sooooooo. My question to all of you is, have you had a...

Henrietta- I wish I could hear ducks, they're so funny! The house two doors down from me has chickens, and I can sometimes hear their egg cackling. :) There is an ambulance and a firetruck down the street from me... I wonder if it's that's where the chainsaw was that I heard for hours this...

Poop. Although I've found that "normal" people seem to be fascinated over the things I do that are ss. Mostly in a good way, a "hey, can you teach me how to knit!" kind of way. It would be a mistake not to take advantage of the interest!

My parents built their hen house way too big. It is a pain to clean, gets too cold in the winter, and the hens sometimes make the far corner into a nest, so you have to crawl all the way to the back to get them. Unless your winters are so hard that the hens must stay inside a lot, I would not go...

Henrietta- You have me beat for sure! Why is it that many parents think that since the shrieking is "happy" that it doesn't scar my eardrums? I got pretty spoiled for a while. The house with the kid used to have a retired couple in it, I never heard a peep. The house on the other side was...

Argggggggggg. Get me out of here now! The new owners of the house next door apparently are the kind of parents who I dislike. The kind who find it acceptable for their kid to yell everything she says. You know it's loud when I'm in MY house, all the windows shut, vacuuming and I can hear "MOMMY...

First off :welcome Second, wow, that's cheap for pre-made ones! The pads that our co-op sells are like $7.50 for ONE. As far as I've seen those are the only one's being sold locally. Even people on Etsy sell them for at least $4.00 each. So just saying... Those are a good deal for pre-made. I...

...Wow. I double dare you to post that over at backyardchickens. Those people would have a cow! (if it's not all populated by show birds by now lol!)

If you look at Tommy's signature, he has 8 laying hens, four red sex links plus four black sex links. 8*7=56 I certainly hope that he meant all of them, not just four, or we all need to start taking lessons! :bow

Farmfresh- They were there and gone FAST. I dunno if it's faster to unload or what, but they were there maybe an hour or less. It took over four hours for the old owners to get moved. I'm getting all weird, wandering around the house trying to find stuff either to throw away, or give away. I'm...

I just weeded for about 40 minutes, and although it's supposedly only 60 outside, I had to come in because it was too hot for me! lol! Just as I came inside a moving truck backed into the neighbors. So the new people are moving in already. *sigh* The jealousy is terrible! But next week I go to...

The second offer is $1,200 based on 5,000 pounds. My goal is to cut that number as much as possible. 4,000 pounds would be $960. I'm making a list of all the small but heavy things that we could transport ourselves. I have almost 100 pounds of encyclopedias, that's $24 right there! So at first...

That quilt is so gorgeous! I especially like the scalloped edges. I envy people who have the patience to make something like that.

People think that everyone that lives in the north west are coffee experts... This is not so! My mom hates coffee with a passion, and my former co-workers drank (and liked!) some of the worst coffee I've ever come across. And my step-dad actually is a coffee expert, but he drinks his coffee...

I've been eyeballing this one, but can't justify it right now. What do you use to brew your coffee? I really like my french press, but some people think I make it too strong, so when I have company I make drip coffee.

I discovered that the duplex windows face north east, and north west, so it's going to be DARK. I will be investing in some daylight bulbs (the ones that look blue/white). And I want to make curtains for the kitchen nook window. I have some white fabric with tiny cherries that I want to pair...

We drove by the market in GH last Saturday when I saw the duplex. It did look bigger, but I guess we stole from the KP one, lol! Let me know if there's other stuff, like produce, and honey. I also heard that they put an Indian restaurant somewhere in the Harbor! I'm so excited! Oh, raw milk! I...
