A Small Homestead

Welcome to my blog about our adventures on and away from our modest family homestead. We are a young family trying to raise as much of our own food as possible and still enjoy life while holding down full time jobs and work two small home based businesses. Life can get hectic and challenging but at the end of the day we have most importantly each other, good food on our table and a roof over our heads.

A Nova Scotia Snow Storm....

One minute it's snowing, the next minute it's raining or freezing rain.

I was up early this morning and put a chicken in the oven, planning ahead just in case the power goes out.  We have a generator hook up so we won't be without power but we have to select what to hook up to it so if we don't have to run the oven that will be a bonus.

We had fantastic Christmas well, I guess I've blocked out the part where our Beagle attacked our chickens and killed 2 young hens who didn't even start to lay eggs yet.  In our excitement for Christmas Day we forgot to put her invisible fence collar on her and so she went out of bounds and attacked our chickens.

It is my hope to take advantage of this stormy day inside to sort through some items, preparing for a huge  yard sale next year!


Where ever you are, whatever your weather, stay safe!
'til next time
