A Plain Country Homestead

I was reading on Musketman's blog about his 'purple squirrel heads' over rice and it made me hungry (how sad is that, considering the naming of his dish?!?).  I need to plan dinner!

I was also thinking about starting a quilt -- rather unrelated to the monkey hips and squirrel heads thing, though -- and about how I need to get a schedule worked out for adding in the 'wanna do' things of the homestead, along with the 'need do' things.  I need to plan out menus for the month yet so we can do our shopping this weekend.  I need to work out the extra's for schooling this month yet.  I have plenty of outdoor projects to get moving on....gardening, barn make-overs, animal health needs to tend, etc.  And I'd like to start a quilt project.  Maybe something small-scale...like a baby quilt, or table runner.   I saw on the Front Page section here, they have an article for that sort of thing (quilting for cancer children, I believe).  And plenty of ladies here do beautiful handwork.  It's certainly encouraging me to widen my horizons as it were.
