Homesteading: A Woman's Journey

This & that

Finally, spring is upon us.  What a glorious time of year.  The new buds forming on the trees bringing new leaves and growth.  The warming of the temperatures.  Sunday night, I came home to find several rabbits jumping around in the yard.  A sure sign that spring is finally here.  I was able to place the last of the puppies.  A no-kill shelter took them and was thrilled to have them.  They had just had a large number of adoptions and had no young puppies left.  These 4 little ones will be easy for them to place.  I felt bad in a way about taking them to a shelter.  But I am happy that I was able to find a good one.  Also the fact that the other 6 puppies have homes.  I plan to have Fawn and Sweetpea spayed as soon as we are able to afford it.  Until then, they will be in a kennel with a high fence.  Mack, who is a houdini and can get in and out of most enclosures we have put him into, can't get in the kennel so I feel pretty confident that we can keep the females safe should they go into heat before we can get them spayed.   Joe's job is going well.  He is getting alot of miles and is enjoying the job.  It is hard being away from home, but he is doing good.  We stay in touch daily with text messages and emails.  Phone calls also when time permits.  It all depends on the loads they are running.  If it is a tight schedule, he has a harder time getting to a phone to send/recieve emails.  That is where the text messages are a blessing.  Abbie and I are doing well.  She talks to her Daddy's picture alot and giggles.  I have been taking alot of pictures of her to get developed so Joe will have some new ones.  I have been staying busy.  I am working on spring cleaning the house, doing some sewing, and also a bit of canning.  Once Joe is home, we will can alot more.  Meals that include meat will be done when he is here.  I had to repair my sewing machine.  It had quit working properly.  So, I had to do some minor work on it to get the machine working well again.  I really missed being able to sew while it was not working.  I was surprised by how much I was wanting to work on the sewing projects.  Thank goodness I was able to find out how to do the repair myself.  It saved alot of time & money.  I also found through doing a search that I will be able to order the manual for repairing & servicing my sewing machine.  What a blessing it will be to get that.  I won't have to take it in to be serviced once I learn how to do it myself.
