Are You A Fool?

I am resolved........

I found this wonderful list of resolutions by Jonathan Edwards (Colonial American Congregational Preacher, Theologian, and Missionary to the Native Americans) and thought I'd share them:

Resolved~To live with all my might while I do live.

Resolved~Never to lose one moment of time, but to improve it in the most profitable way I possible can.

Resolved~Never to do anything which I should despise or think meanly of in another.

Resolved~Never to do anything out of revenge.

Resolved~Never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

Jonathan Edwards

Legacy Hills Homestead updates

Hi to all 5 of my readers! :))

I know it's been a long time.........AGAIN..........since I've shared the happenings here at the homestead. And for the most part, it was a fairly boring winter as far as homesteading goes.
The latest happenings are:
-we got a new furnace
-we also got a new AXE, so the need for the new furnace is greatly diminished
-we got 15 new Red Star laying hens with 1 Rooster
-we're getting a 4 yr old Saddle bred horse on Saturday; We're naming him Quincy-after John Quincy Adams...........can anyone leave me a comment on the "nickname" for his presidency? Poor guy........ ;)
-our oldest child recently turned 18..................we've raised a whole child! WOWEE!!! Ask me how I feel?

We've got photos, so hopefully I can find the cord for the camera soon. We finally got the battery charged.

Oh guess what? I was thinking of creating my own website for our homestead, so thought I'd take a peek into the name, and our blog rated FIRST on the list for the name Legacy Hills Homestead. We're quite excited about that little fact. Not sure that will make us buy the domain name, but it's neat to see our rankings none the less.

So, the dog is barking, number 3 son is crying (his foot got shut in the fridge), and it's quick clean time. Gotta run!

Legacy Hills Homestead

I know it's been a long time coming, and I'm usually so slow with these things. BUT.......I finally have a few photos of the homestead.

And I feel I must point out that we have changed the name of the homestead a bit, so if you read comments, please know that some folks were responding based on the first name.

Here's the front of our house.

Here's pasture, barn, and the pool.

Above is Alexandra with "Wilbur"...........getting a lesson because he's still a toddler mini-horse/pony. He looks more pony than horse, and certainly has the pony attitude.


Here's Wilbur in the pasture: BEFORE he figured out how to escape.

This horse is our neighbors horse, "Topper". He's friends with our little mini, so they hang out together. He's sad these days because his friend is locked up. His escapes were getting dangerous (out by the road) so until we can get it to stop snowing enough to fix the fencing, he'll be incarcerated to the stall. Not fun for a horse.........or a toddler!

This photo is of my Homestead Hunk......we've nicknamed him "Farmer Joe". He's right handy with a tractor, a saw, and soon the wood splitter!

Of course Eliana is always honing her mothering skills. Even when it's a little puppy. He enjoyed his blankie' and his nap.

As soon as we find the camera battery charger, we'll get some more of life on our homestead.

We're still unpacking, still finding homes for things, and still working on our diligence in homeschooling.

We're off to another farm for our milk today, but come summer we're hoping to add some chickens, a meat cow, and maybe a goat. We'll be planting a large garden, so we'll start plotting that out in January.

A Sale worth blogging about!

I know, I come out of hiding (and from the foggy haze of boxes, paper, and the reminder that we have a LOT of stuff to unpack) to post a sale.
Well this sale is worth blogging about.

My online friend, and business savvy Christian sister is having a great sale at her store.
Here's what's going on:

Amelia's Aprons will host a black Friday sales event. Beginning Friday Nov 28th thru Saturday Nov 29th. For these 2 days only you can save 20% on every purchase you make.
This includes patterns.
Enter coupon code BlackFriday in the shopping cart to receive your savings.

So, head on over there and use this opportunity to spend your hard earned money on something good for you............and your clothes!

Oh, and I promise I have photos of Legacy Hills. Now, if I could just find the cord to upload them to blogger, we'd all be a lot more content.

We have a winner!! - Blog giveaway

I'm so sorry it took me so long to choose a winner. We up and decided to move to the country since my last post.
I'm still adjusting to my new life in the country, even trying to get photos is hard.
But, I have a little time this morning before church and drew a name.

It's Tara!
She chose either of the Lavender scents............which we LOVE!!
Tara, send your address to:
becki@reversalmiracles.com
I'll be sending you a 1 pound bag of our detergent.

Everyone else that entered, because it took me so long to choose a name, I'll send you each a sample of detergent. It's a 2 ounce bag, good for a small load of laundry, or a few diapers.

Everyone who entered, please feel free to give us feedback on your product. We LOVE it, but could be biased. *smile*

Finally, we can tell you.....

.....what our big announcement is!

Last night we took possession of what will now be known as:
Legacy Hills
The Liebl Homestead

We'll be living on a little over 3 acres.

While I'd love to show you photos of it, I don't have any yet. It was almost dark when we got there last night, then my camera battery was dying.

But let me give you the run down of what it's got.
-5 spacious bedrooms
-in ground swimming pool
-whirlpool & sauna (inside the house)
-a dining room so large my over sized dining room table, that seats 8, will look small
-it's a ranch style house with a walk-out basement
-top to bottom natural fireplace
-four stall horse barn
-pasture for up to 4 large animals (horses, cows)
-mature trees for little boys to climb and hide in
-farmers on all sides

It's literally a dream come true! The Lord has blessed our family abundantly with this little piece of land.
I hope you'll stop by again to see our photos!

WIFD- Tues, Wed, Friday

We missed one day, although we still wore our feminine dress, but here are the photos for the other days.

It has been wonderful to see my daughters looking so soft and feminine every day.

I just had to share this picture of Eliana. She found this "spring' dress while we were going through some clothes bins deciding what to take to the resale shop. Clearly this dress no longer fits her, but she insisted on trying it on.............as I was buttoning it, she found the boots!
