We are a Christian family raising our daughter to be self-sufficient through gardening, herbal medicines, foraging, raising chickens, canning, and made from scratch food!

I laughed WAY too hard at this. Dang city folk don't know the smell of good ole dung! 🤣🐖🐄 💩

I do love that they turned it into a PSA as well as a gratitude post for the farmers. 👨‍🌾❤️

Does anyone know what the heck this noise is that Daisy is making?

I assume a sneeze but in the 9-10 years we've had chickens, I've never heard a chicken sneeze before.

Thanks for the help!

Getting work done in the rain!

Besides new, taller and more secure walls for the chicken pen, they are also getting a new roof! Our goal was to get it done before winter and snow and John is making sure that happens!

They are already grateful for the larger dry area!

This man works so hard to accomplish every vision we have for our homestead and I couldn't be more thankful!

I'm not sure who is the predator and who is the prey but they've definitely got eyes on each other.

I guess time will tell who wins!

Who do you have your money on?

Tell me it's baking season without telling me it's baking season! 🥖🍪

Whew! The girls are winding down production with the shorter days so it won't be long until I start dipping into our water glassed eggs. If you are interested in more information regarding how to preserve fresh eggs, please see the link below!

Oh October, I'm so happy to welcome you back! Not that it's going to feel like October for the next 2 days! 🥵 But it's coming back soon!

I pray October will be good to you and bring you closer to God.

I've heard quite a bit of controversy over Christians celebrating Halloween. I was raised in a Christian home and we always celebrated Halloween.

Were we worshipping the devil? Of course not! Were we having fun dressing up together, having parties, decorating, and going trick or treating? Absolutely!

I honestly never thought of Halloween as anything but a holiday where I get to dress up and get candy.

So, yes I believe that Halloween is safe for Christians to celebrate and we will continue to do so in our home.

I would love to know others' opinions on this. As a Christian (if you are one) do you celebrate Halloween? Why or why not? 👻 🎃

It's a homemade chili, first fire in the fireplace, Halloween baking championship kinda evening on the homestead.

We spent the afternoon, preparing potatoes to be canned in the morning, making marinara, and jalapeno sauce, as well as decorating for Halloween. It's nice to sit down together in front of the fire. 🔥

Franklin is quite unhappy that I decided to remove his warm fur coat right before the colder weather hit.

However, he does LOVE his sweaters and mom's fall blankets, so maybe he will forgive me. I'm so excited that fall feels like fall for a change! 🍂🍁 Hopefully it's here to stay!

Now if I can just convince John to make me a fire in the fireplace....🔥😆
