“Cultivating the Homestead Community”

Spring has sprung in our corner of Wyoming! The Prairie Kids and I enjoyed a wonderful week outside doing yard clean up and refinishing an old table. I planted a few things in my new hugelkultur bed, and Prairie Girl discovered worms for the first time, much to her delight. I also worked on my raspberry bed and raked up all the bark so I could put down a layer of newspaper underneath. I’m *hoping* that helps with weed control this year… we shall see!

Well, I didn’t get much done outside last week, but I don’t mind a bit because we got more SNOW. I am so very thankful– 3 huge storms in less than a month. God is good. It’s starting to green up, and we are definitely off to a better start than last week. We’ll continue to pray that the trend continues.

Last week was a busy one! I spent a lot of time getting ready for the announcement of the new online essential oil class that I’m doing with some friends– Coaching Home Healers. I’m super excited about it and am thrilled to see that over 350 of you have already signed up! If this is something you’d be interested in, click here to get the scoop (it’s free to join!).

Friday also happened to be Prairie Girl’s 3rd birthday, so we had a fun weekend of celebrating. Most all of her gifts were farm-themed– and she couldn’t have been happier. The poor kid doesn’t stand a chance.

I’m still doing a little dance over all the moisture we received last week in the form of 3 solid days of SNOW! The roads were closed, the schools were closed… It was wonderful.
And now it’s melting and we have puddles… Big, glorious, muddy, puddles. If you’ve never lived in an area affected by drought, then you are probably thinking that I sound pretty crazy right now. But God most definitely heard our prayers for moisture– and we’ll continue to pray!

As you can imagine, I haven’t done much work in my garden lately… But I’m itching to get back outside. If you’ve been planning out your plot and digging in the dirt this week, I think you’ll find the Seeds of the Month Club giveaway that is happening right now to be right up your alley.
