Summer... on the Horizon!

Raised bed full of peppermint and spearmint!
Hi everyone! I know it has been a little quiet on here lately. As always happens this time of year, I've got too much dirt beneath my fingernails to get on my computer and pound out a post.

As I sit here and type, the wonderful smell of bacon is circulating throughout the kitchen. We're having breakfast for dinner, since my four hens have started laying eggs galore! We also have chicks out in the garage... although since they're almost four weeks old, I'm not sure they qualify as "chicks" anymore.

As the thrift stores have been closed for almost two months now, I've found fun and new ways to repurpose or find old things. I've been reading a lot of good books that I'm excited to share (once I've finished them, of course!). I started three new fermentation projects in the last several months: saurkraut, strawberry wine from last year's strawberries, and sourdough. I'm most excited about the sourdough, since after three tries, I'm finally having some success with it. 

Below is a meme I shared on my personal Facebook page:

For real, though. I've spent sooooo much money on Amazon. I think part of it has to do with there being nothing to look forward to (and most of the summer events are being cancelled as well... WAHHHHH!) in combination with my working on many, many projects. Which I am SO happy to be doing. :D

I'm guessing some of these things will be showing up in Youtube videos, which I am uploading about as often as I update this blog. LOL. I've also fallen off of Instagram, because projects. But, yeah.

Anyhow, I have another project to work on, so... off I go!

I'd love to hear what some of you are doing these days. Leave a comment!
