Reading

Classics were my choice of reading material at the beginning of 2015. The Great Gatsby, Wuthering Heights, A Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist, among others. Some were really good and I will to get back to them... at some point. Currently my reading is focused on the ranch - all the things we hope to have, or at least try out.

Anyone that has ever discussed reading with me knows I do not read how to books. Yep, these are how to books but they're not quite so boring as how to organize your life, how to make and keep friends, how to pray, how to blend oils, how to eat right, how to deal with (fill in the blank), how to raise your children, how to budget, how to make money... 

I read a couple of chicken books back when I got my first girls. Lots of great websites and blogs as well. I'm on my second horse book. Donkeys come next, then I'll go back to the guinea book I was reading before the move. Two Farmer's Almanacs for next year, and an Acres magazine are on the trunk in the great room. Oh! There's a book on canning in the pantry as well ;)

Okay, I'm off to deliver breakfasts and start today's project which is finishing yesterday's project, power washing the windows and cedar posts on the house. Next comes staining the slates Michael cut yesterday for the coop! Oh, and cleaning the inside of the windows I'm currently cleaning the outsides of. 

Before I sign off ~ I realized yesterday I left off a couple of things seen all the time here: crickets and daddy long legs.
