Dyeing With Dandelions “Dyeing with dandelions” could be interpreted in a few ways. It could refer to someone lying among dandelions as they pass away, finding solace or beauty in nature during their final moments.

Over the years and long Maine winters I watch as folks debate the proper way to care for chickens in the winter season. Some say it is wrong to use supplemental light to encourage laying all winter. Some say it is fine. The bigger debate that involves safety is whether or not…

2020 Goals Plans Hopes and Dreams I am working on having a clear vision for 2020
2019 Goals Recap and Accountability Part of the reason I am posting this is because I need to hold myself accountable. I also am hoping that in my sharing I can inspire and encourage someone else to keep going and not give up on their dreams. To review and access where I am at, I read through some of my older posts that talked about my goals. Recap From my post FMF: Goal “This week’s Five-Minute Friday prompt is GOAL. Ironic since my goals have been on my mind a lot. [bctt tweet=””I have small goals, big goals, health goals…
Five Things You Like About Yourself Reading a post over at Nyxies Nook about Self Care and Recovery She asked readers to name 5 things they like about themselves. That same week Ruth Soukup had challenged her readers to name one thing they like about themself. My reply is ” This one is going to be hard for me. I am feeling challenged to think about and write down 5 things. ” The List Here is a list I had started called my best habits. I will use this for my five things I like about me. I had written…
The Dandy Dandelion Dandi-lions Yes, I know I spelled that wrong. I know it is spelled dandelion. I was thinking about how I like the name, which is comprised of two words. Dandy and Lion. I wondered also how much trouble this spelling of dropping the Y and putting the E in its place when combining the words causes for kids just learning to spell it. In an earlier post, I started talking about dandelions. There are many more recipes and uses for these plants than I could have imagined. I decided it was worth giving them their post on…
Whoopsies I never actually published my 2019 Goals list. that is included here along with a 4 month accountability update. My motivation I was inspired to put it out there and make my goals public by Becca Moore of The Moore Family Homestead. She said in an email to me ” Writing down our goals was the best thing we could have ever done. We took the first 65 days of this year and really laid out what it was we’d like to see happen over the next year. We don’t think all of them will happen, but writing them down…
A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned As I was cleaning out my ‘saved’ articles from Facebook I came across this link. This gave me food for thought. Can I be more of a producer than consumer? Can I cut down on wasteful spending through some of these ideas? A penny saved is a penny earned is a saying I heard often used. I already do some of these things. I don’t consider myself a prepper or necessarily organic but I like this way of thinking that The Organic Prepper has shared. Thinking about Doing It Yourself How about you,…
