Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. ~ Jeremiah 6:16
November is almost over, and while we have enjoyed the down time from therapy we still have barely scratched the surface of all the things that need doing around here. That said we have been busy. I am another year older, perhaps not wiser. At 37 I made a list of 37 things I wanted [...]
I think most North Americans are somewhat familiar with Groundhog Day. On February 2 nd we await to see if the little guy will peek out of his hole and see his shadow. Supposedly, if he sees his shadow then it is six more weeks of winter, and if he doesn’t then we will [...]
I am always crafting something and recently I crocheted this bunny for Hannah. I found her pattern for free on Raverly, you can find the pattern here. I chose to go with a slightly heavier yarn than it suggested. Only because I really loved the feel of it. It was an alpaca wool blend, [...]
You know there is always two ways to look at something, and sometimes even more than two. Last night as I tucked Joel in to bed he looked at me and said, “I can’t wait for tomorrow!” “Oh why’s that?” I asked “Cuz I get my Easy Pod!” I always try to prep him the [...]
The most proliferous plant in our garden this summer had to be the zucchini plant with the tomato plant as a close second. I do not understand the super powers of the zucchini. It can hide in the garden, I am sure it has the ability to make itself invisible if it wants to. That, [...]
Once more, I am late getting our garden post up. It has been a busy month, yet again. This definitely has been a season full of learning. Well I guess with everything there is always room to continue to learn, but this was our first serious attempt at gardening. Everything up to this point was [...]
I am a little embarrassed that we are this far along in August and I am only now posting my end of July garden pictures. Between gardening, hosting guests, playing with the children, housework etc. my poor blog has suffered. So without further adieu I give you… The July Garden!!! This is the small garden which will [...]
I know I have been missing from around here. I find it hard to believe that Father’s Day was my last post. We have been very busy and hopefully I’ll soon have some new posts up describing much of what we have been up to. Today I wanted update you all on the garden… June [...]
If anyone showed up here yesterday looking for ‘Field Trip Friday & Other Homeschool Fun,’ oops I messed up. It has been so busy around here I have not had a chance to post anything. We have been blessed with lots of company this past week. Last Saturday we had a friend and his four [...]
Traditionally, when someone would use the word orchard they would be describing a piece of land set apart for the use of fruit trees. Today people often think of apples when they hear the word orchard. Here at the Old Path I guess we have taken a more traditional approach and mixed in various fruit [...]
Has spring sprung on our little Homestead? This year we were teased with unseasonably warm weather in March, and here we sit almost hours from May desperate for spring in all its glory. I think we can safely say spring is here. I may not be a fan of the mud that spring tracks in, [...]
This years garden was a bit of a disappointment, perhaps that is an understatement. Yet I knew not to expect much, Joel finished cancer treatment the end of May and then in June he started going twice a week for therapy instead of once a week. (With Therapeutic Riding he is now up to 3 [...]
