Lessons From Littles

I wrote this last weekend just after waving good-bye to my boys. All are back safe and sound now, but now that my little man just turned three I thought it a good time to share what a gift he, his brother and my husband are. Pictured above is our now 3 year old’s hand…

Making time for my toddler

Since the arrival of our son approximately nine weeks ago I have been learning how to give both boys the love and attention they need. Obviously the baby doesn’t understand ‘just wait, someone else needs me right now,’ but my toddler does. And that is a huge blessing. He can be quite independent and very…

Mid-July Postcards

It is a backhoe week for Stewart, digging ponds and outhouse holes and other various projects. Haymaker’s punch is in order for hot days on big equipment (or in the garden). A couple of apron pockets full of black-eyed peas a day and we’re set for the daily homestead stir-fry. I forgot how much you…

A Day of Winter

A Day of Winter

When the onslaught of summer heat finally dissipates, the children often remark on the “smell of snow” when they go outside. It seems our area of Texas has two seasons – “hot”  and “warm with a chance of cold”. Anything below hot is when they start waiting for snow. These boys of ours love to…

End of Year Postcards

Stewart planted loads of garlic this year. It went in late, to be sure, but because we could find no onions to plant, we planted plenty. This little ma’am is nearing the five month mark.  Are my children the only ones who put everything into a bowl with milk and call it cereal? We now…

  20. That was beautiful. Your children are so into living on the land, its wonderful to see the boys building, measuring and working so hard and the little ladies are just too cute. Bless your gorgeous family. xxx

  21. So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!

  22. Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
    It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand. I held the post as my husband poured dry cement mix into the hole and tamped it down to pack it around the post. Moisture from the surrounding ground usually set the cement overnight. They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
