We've had five inches of rain in the past five days.

Am I complaining?  Sure I am.

I met with one of my friends to meet up for carpooling our teenagers to a track meet, and as she emerged from her truck and I from my minivan, we just looked at each other bleary-eyed, falling into each other's arms and both bursting out "I can't stand this #^*# anymore!"

So, yes, you could say we're sick of the rain.  

It did melt the snow, though.  I show the progression from full-on winter-blizzard-wonderland to planting garlic in our bare garden beds in my newest short movie "Homesteading in Paradise - March Highlights".

I hope you have fun watching it!

Two in a row!

I'm giving you two videos in a row!

My last post was my movie about how to make nettle pesto, and now I want to show you my monthly "Homesteading in Paradise" series.

This is my short February Highlights movie, showing scenes from our homesteading life in the wild.  I hope you like it!

A little late, but better late than never.

Here is the November Highlights of my "Homesteading in Paradise" video series.

Enjoy!

Homesteading in Paradise - October 2016 Highlights

What an action-packed month October was!  I'm feeling a little dazed, actually, in a good but exhausted way.

It's a good thing that the sky has rained buckets, filling streams, rivers and puddles, turning the pig and goat pastures into a mucky mess.  It's a perfect time to sit by the wood stove fire and knit.  And cook.  And edit countless movie clips into our highlights-of-the-month movie.

You can watch it here.  It's a fun one, containing some clips that might make you laugh out loud.
