Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

Melissa - Radiance! Yes, that perfectly describes her in this pic, doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteThe Knitty Gritty Homestead - Ha! I wish this was me! This is my 16 year old daughter...but she was joyful and radiant! And we did surprise her! It was wonderful!
Brooke - Thank you! It was a beautiful, joyful moment!
Baby By the Sea - Yes! Thanks for popping by!
Laura Emily - Thank you! Happy New Year to you, too!
Jaime - Yay! Yes, they were both looking at three little mice in that cage! She asked for one and we said maybe. Then, she asked for two so the one wouldn't be "lonely" and we said no way. So...we got her three ;-) But when she came downstairs on Christmas morning, only one was out & about in the cage (the other two were hiding). This picture was taken right when the other two came out and she was SO surprised and happy! It was a good moment, no doubt.
That smile! Hope everyone continues to be that happy through the new year!
