Saturday on the Homestead: February 8

We didn't get to spend much time home on the homestead today.  Our 19 year old daughter, Jessie, had an interview for a child caring position, and since her truck is out of commission at the moment, and since we needed to run a couple of errands anyway, we just took her to town.

For her birthday this year, she wants to be outfitted for hunting deer this fall, including a hunting rifle, so while we were out, we stopped by our local store to check out the prices.  Needless to say, it won't be an inexpensive endeavor, but hopefully she will fill our freezer this fall.

We were all so happy to finally see a little bit of snow.  It was a very little bit, but definitely better than nothing.   There is a chance for more this coming week, so we will see.  If we aren't going to get any more pretty snow, I would just as soon spring come.

Right now, our kitchen table is completely taken up with 3 of our four foot grow lights.  It may still be a bit early to start certain seeds, but nevertheless we have some nice looking tomato plants, and we can maintain them under the lights until Jeff gets his greenhouse finished.

Tomorrow, we are looking forward to getting more done around the homestead.  We REALLY need to make progress on our greenhouse.  We still have a lot of windows to install in it, and each window has to be painted on both sides before installation.  Very tedious, time-consuming work.

We are about to settle in for the evening with a couple of family friendly movies on our Clearplay DVD player.  We ate Mexican on the way home, so we have supper covered already.

Amber wrote another blog today, this one on modesty, which I will post later.  Josh has been invaluable keeping the wood boxes in the house full of wood, and keeping the fire stoked.  My kids are such a blessing to me.

I hope your day has been wonderfully blessed, as well as tomorrow!
