Work Work and more work, for those of you who might be wondering where I have disappeared to, that word is my life in a nutshell. Sad but true. Have been working two jobs focusing on doing what I need to do to keep it all afloat right now while I have all my kids under on roof. It won't be like this forever. My Urban Homesteading adventures are few and far between, the kids and I planted some Romain lettuce on the back porch, those little green sprouts coming up are such a nice reminder that the cycle goes on. I am still making bread regularly and spouting seeds in the window sill, but that's about it. I am reading a book on home cheese making but the thought of making it from store bought milk saddens me. I can't wait for the day I have milking goats again.
This month my colt Rocky will be six months old and I will wean him from his mama, which promised to be a traumatic experience for all. I will post pictures of him soon. He kept the blue eyes which makes him pretty unusual looking.
Hope all of you are keeping warm and well this winter. I pop in and catch up on your blogs when I can.
I've been sprouting too. Now, I can finally plant in the greenhouse. The growing season is here! Just a little lettuce sprouting can sure bring a needed boost!

Lucky that you have Romaine started. It will be quite a while before we can start seedlings up here!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes!
Oh, seed starting.... can't wait.
ReplyDeleteStay sane while working. Make sure to take some time for yourself, too. Judy
Laura!!! So good to hear from you! I wonder how you are and if your working yourself to death. Can't wait to see photos of Rocky. Gee, hard to believe he's 6 months old already. Guess there will be a lot of screaming in the barn when you wean. I remember when we weaned my Junior. He put up a terrible fuss. Screamd, kicked, cried...and mom snorted and called back to no avail....all was done in a short period of time...but traumatic for them just the same...poor little Rocky...good luck..and so glad to hear from you...debbie
