How does your garden grow?

-
We have been busy busy busy on our modest homestead these past couple of weeks.  While my computer was down I took time to actually work, LOL!  We worked on things around the house and in our yard and garden.  Here are some picks that I hope you enjoy.


Here is my fabulous Hubby starting to till up the garden.


Here is a long view of Hubby tilling the garden.

Here are the little's watching Daddy from a safe distance

Surprise!  The tulips I thought I got the year before last I guess I missed a few little ones as they have poked thru the ground and made themselves known.  Oh well their glory was short lived because hubby kept right on tilling.
Look at that beautiful dirt!  The contrast between the rich, dark, fertile tilled up dirt compared to the dried out weed infested woodstove ash covered ground.  It is such a beautiful sight to behold!

Here is a closer view of my fantastic Hubby and our monster of a tiller (I can not control this thing, it is like a Great Dane - it takes me for a walk, not the other way around!)
Here is a view my 5 year old had when she took the photo of Daddy - I think she did a pretty good job.

My daughters love to play with Earthworms any chance they get and boy did they with the newly tilled garden.

Well that is all for the pre-planting pics.  Hope you enjoyed it, we sure did!

Tea Tree Oil I

I have heard so much about this oil and thought I would finally try it. My excuse to finally get it was I found a great little homemade recipe online for diaper rash (or prevention of) using Aloe, tea tree oil, etc. (I will post this recipe later). So since I will be switching to cloth diapers soon and wanted to also switch to a more natural diaper wipe (using the recipe I found in a spray bottle to a dry wash cloth makes a good "diaper wipe") I went ahead and ordered from my favorite little website http://www.vitacost.com/ and my items just came in a couple of days ago. **Even though I purchased mine online (I bought other items too) you can find this in lots of stores now including your local health food store. Sometimes Health food stores are a little higher in price so it might behoove you to call around to your local grocery stores or even retailers like Walmart, Kmart, etc. to see if they carry it before you go searching for it. This will help you plan your trip and yo

Let's Eat Organic! In Season and Out -

My family and I have been trying to switch as much as possible to all natural and organic. It is a bit overwhelming when you think of all the food that is out there to choose from. So I thought in order to make things easier for me when I shop I would compile a list of foods that are best to eat Organic while others are better to eat All Natural and then of course there are the foods that you just can't really get around or may be okay to eat. So to get started this is the Organic portion. For a good article click here . I used to shop mainly at Aldi's and supplementing at Meijers with a an occasional Wal-Mart thrown in. But I have to admit that I have a problem. When I go to the big superstores I get myself in trouble and end up spending WAY too much money because I always "wander" over to the other sections that do not pertain to groceries and always find something that I "need". So recently I have decided that I'm going to start shopping at Krogers fo

Do you wear makeup? Yes.  I wear just a bit on occasion.  I wear brown eyeliner, black mascara and a bit of neutral eyeshadow (browns or purples - not like royal blue purple but subtle).  I like to do this for my hubby as well as a pick-me-up to myself.  I also wear tinted lip glosses.  Once a year I get all dolled up to go to my Hubby's company End of the Year Party and then I wear my hear real fancy with a bit more make-up with a new (or new from thrift-store) skirt and blouse and of course got to have some beautiful stylish high heels. Do you wear a head covering? I cover sometimes as my Hubby is not quite co
