Time to get back to our regular schedule 📚

I took a surprise trip to Maryland over the weekend for my grams birthday. It was a whirlwind of a trip but so worth it! I’ll share about that trip and some find homeschool things you also might enjoy if you ever have to drive up 81 all the way through Virginia.

But now, back to school! We are finishing The tale of Despereaux this week and then moving on to Because of Winn Dixie. This will be books 8 and 9 since starting back our homeschool year. We are doing a 100 books challenge and I think we are off to a good start!

Chicken salad is a favorite when it’s hot outside. But not my favorite when it’s hot inside…

Today I learned you can’t make mayonnaise if your house is 80 degrees. The kitchen cabinet inside is 87 degrees. I guess hot oil doesn’t emulsify well. Really putting a damper on dinner that was suppose to be chicken salad sandwiches 😩

If you saw some crazy lady in a moomoo hop my garden fence at 4am, have no fear. It was just me collecting herbs for my daughter’s herbal salt steam! She has severe asthma and sometimes adding in an herbal steam after her nebulizer helps really open her up more.

Very thankful I grow a large herb garden for times like this. Really hoping I can transfer my established bushes easily to the new property.

Cabin build: part 6️⃣

We went from half a gallon a minute to….

Anyone else have a similar well? How are things going on your homestead?

The end of this watermelon I grew was hissin like a pressure cooker about the blow….and I’m glad I put it outside. We picked it 20 minutes ago from the garden.

Well, that wasn’t the phone call I was hoping for. I’ve seen encouraging stories where people dug a little deeper and it increased the flow quite a bit.

So here we go down to 700 feet….and the most expensive water we will ever drink.
