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
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 [...]
The Rules Currently there aren’t many and I reserve the right to change that up too. Add your link below, it has to be about Homeschooling, it can be something you just did or an archive post that is a real good one. Art projects, Science experiments, Nature hikes you name it! If you don’t blog [...]
Several months ago now, I wrote a post about what I made Hannah for Christmas. I also mentioned how I was toying with the idea of selling some of my creations. One of my readers was slightly disappointed as she was hoping I would do a tutorial. Well, I am of the opinion that there are [...]

This winter has been anything but normal. It was slow to start and then we got a lot of snow and now it is warm enough to put the buckets up and we are still in February. Basically sap starts running when temperatures climb above freezing during the day and drop back down at night. [...]
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 [...]
Chickens… Back on August 15th I took some pictures of our latest arrivals. I also posted some of the problems we were having with our chicks. I am thankful to say since then we have not lost anymore chicks. Our new problem is space and where to put everyone. (Not to mention the problem of [...]
It is almost time for the International Plow Match which is held annually in Ontario. There are qualifying matches held all over the province in preparation for the International Plow Match. On the weekend our neighbor hosted our local match. It was fun to watch the different plows, some newer, some older and even some horse powered [...]
