Love the elderberries...I've sure picked all I could find on the farm and made up lots of jam, jelly and syrup. I've put some in the freezer for wine making later on when I get the time.... Yummmy....:)

I have made lots of bread and started out using the bread machine. However, the worse bread I ever made was the loaf that I made in my bread machine. It was okay but still the worse loaf. I then proceeded to just use the bread machine on the dough cycle only and that works pretty well but the...

I know what you mean about the windows Laura..... it can be depressing sometimes. Hubby's shop that he has right now doesn't have any window's and it's totally depressing.....

Hi Laura, I am so loving to read your journal. It's very interesting... and we are doing about the same as you are with the tiny cabins. Our cabin is only a 9x15 so I definitely know how you feel about having a nice lounging area. We are planning on using our bed as a lounging area as...

I usually get my yeast in bulk from a seller on ebay. I can't remember the name of the seller right off but it's so much cheaper than buying it in those jars at the store. As for biscuits..... practice makes perfect... it took me years and years to get them just right and now it seems so...

Today I made some home made bread. Two kinds whole wheat and white sandwich bread. I love making bread and really enjoy doing it all by hand. Here's a few pics of the bread....

Today I saved by ordering my necessities from alice.com instead of making a trip to town to buy the stuff. Saved on gas and probably saved more money because I buy more things when I go to town.

Nope not yet... I will probably set my onions out in a few days... I found some sets yesterday and can't wait. Gonna put some lettuce out in the water bed anyday now too. I don't think we are gonna raise a big garden this year, just a small one because we are gonna have a lot of things to do...

Thank You! I thought those potatoes were awesome. It was really weird to have found them in the bag of potatoes just in time for Valentine's Day.

Yes, you will still be hearing from me... we will be using batteries for any power that we need and will be building our solar panel stash along the way too. We have to have internet for our business and will be charging our batteries via solar panels with generator back up. I may not be on the...

Thank You! The wine sign was a Christmas gift from my Aunt since we make our own wine she thought this would go nicely with the cabin. She also got us a little box that has grapes on it that holds a quart mason jar perfectly..... good to hold the wine in....lol.. As for living with a teenager...

Thank You all for the nice compliments. Nice to see some fellow Kentuckians here as well. This has been a life long dream of ours and I am just so happy that we are getting to live it. Yes, the white shelf does have a flour bin with a sifter in it and it also has bread safe in the middle drawer...
