journal of a coupla fair-weather farmsteaders
Friday, January 28 We have a closing date yay! It seems like it s been a long time coming and I guess it has been. It s been a roller coaster ride as well but here we are. Two weeks from today our lil Dream Valley Farmstead will belong to someone else. People much younger than [ ]
lots and lots of packing! Wednesday, January 12 It was an easy work day even though I played hooky last Sunday. I did a quick computer project, washed, dried and ironed the sheets, then stuck around to tend to the phone and simply be available for the guests while the boss made a quick trip [ ]
Thursday, December 23 The day was spent doing, well, pretty much nothing. It was a good day! I did make an extremely weak attempt at straightening up the storage room. After shifting some empty canning jars around I ran out of motivation so that was the end of that. The biggest accomplishment of the day [ ]
Sunday, December 5 Church. Work. Relax. That was the basic gist of the day. We did manage to hang the curved shower curtain rod I picked up yesterday on our way home from Lexington. Thankfully the installation was easy and finished just in time for us to get our showers before church. This evening I [ ]
Wednesday, November 24 Today was a big day the maiden voyage of the camper! We got up early, had our coffee, took care of the morning chores, finished the last minute packing and were on our way by 8:30. It s the annual trip to Arkansas for Thanksgiving and I got to go this year. [ ]

It was almost eight o clock by the time I flipped the covers back and was immediately hit with a blast of cold air. Donning my warm bathrobe it was time to [ ]
Wednesday, October 13 Today was a work day. After all the difficult mental work and decision making of the last two days it was a nice, much-needed break. It was another easy day which is surprising since October is a very busy month at the B B. Actually, since it re-opened from the pandemic a year [ ]
Wednesday, September 29 It was a work day. Need I say more? I will say that it was an easy day. There weren t that many sheets that needed tended to so I decided to tackle the pile of sheets with stains on them. Most of them came out, some did not. Those that did not [ ]
Friday, September 17 The day started out like any other with morning chores and relaxing with a cuppa coffee. Today was set aside for running errands. We unloaded a large bag of stained tee shirts onto my former coworker at the paper who would be able to get them to the intended recipient. After that [ ]
