What a Harvest!

 

    Sometimes you just have to wrap it in bacon! This fine piece of pork was spared no flavor tonight supper. Harvested from my best friend small pig farm, I am happy to share with you the results of my bacon wrapped pork roast.

    It was a bountiful supper filled with delicious meat, sides, and a few vegetables from my garden that I had to put in the freezer. I know it don't look like much, but to me it means the world. Cooking brings me, solitude and contentment. My mom helped me prepare this meal and I am still learning all of her tips and tricks of cooking.

    We also had a few deer Kabasa sausages to the side for additional flavor. That deer was harvested from my property and my husband made it into link sausages. It just feels more wholesome when more than 50% of the meal comes from the land and not a grocery store.

    And before you ask, no we do not eat our goats. Or let me correct myself, I don't eat our goats. But if there ever come a time when we need protein, and I had went through all my chickens and geese....... goat would truly be on the menu then. I do like to eat lamb chops so maybe we might need to invest in a few sheep.

Life with four Children

 so...          Let's begin. I want to start out by saying that life isn't easy with four kids and a full time job! I honestly don't know how people do this successfully. As a foster parent, I'm still learning about all the invisible baggage that my kids brought with them.      There are nights when I don't get sleep, because they are afraid someone is coming to get them. My 16 year old fears the dark, loud nosies, and being left behind. I suggest all foster parents invest in personal flashlights. It seems to help when the they have their own. We have night lights every where, but that doesn't always help.      Develop and create a laundry routine.  I will only wash two loads of laundry each day.  There are around 6-7 people at my house on any given day, and we are NOT washing clothes all the time.  My children each have their own baskets. They are responsible for placing items in their closets.    ...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.
