I homeschooled my two boys from birth to High school. They are both in the mid/late 20s now. We started homeschooling in southern CA and then finished it up in Las Vegas. I've used just about every curriculum out there. LOL I've used Oak Meadow, K-12, Time4Learning.com, and some charter...

My ex-husband's grandmother collected some depression glass items. She had quite the collection. She gave me a beautifully done basket. I kept it after the divorce because it's beautiful! It's still packed away so I can't post a picture of it just yet. As soon as I unpack it I'll post a...

Thank you @Baymule , that is very true. We have many years of wonderful and funny memories of him. As well as many other beloved pets. We have a little area on our land that is more wooded than the rest. We have a Buddha statue in there on a cement table that looks like where an old well may...

Happy News: We have chickens! Saturday we spent the day finishing up the chicken coop & watering system. And did a little shopping too. I haven't felt so good physically in years! I got up at 7am, which is early for me on the weekends but late for weekdays. My hubby was already up, which is...

We've been looking at that one and thought about getting on the list, but we've got so many other things that we need to get first, we decided not to. I have a water bath canning system so that should be fine for now.

22. If you could create a degree and curriculum, what would you major in and what classes would you take? This has nothing to do with farming or herds, but I would create a degree and curriculum in how to homeschool your kids. I homeschooled my boys their entire childhood right through high...

Since I am not really doing too much on my land right now I figured I'd just answer the questions that are in the pinned thread so y'all can get to know me a little better! 1. What state/province/country are you in and what is your climate like? I'm in Northeast Tx, Tyler to be exact. Smith...

We've got a little Kubota. I think it's the smallest sized one. This is our pond... not sure if you can see the slope in this picture, and this was taken around the first of the year, the water is lower than what it shows now. The slope i'd say is probably 45 degrees maybe more? It's...

yes thank you! It'll be a while before we're ready for sheep. Just trying to learn as much as I can about all of the breeds and how to take care of them properly.

That's exactly one of the reasons we bought the tractor for and now realize that it probably can't handle the slope. LOL I kind wonder if goats/sheep could clear it out easier than we could by hand!

I've learned so much reading through this thread! AND found some others to stalk! LOL I've got a lot to learn living in the city my whole life and now I'm on 6.5 acres. We don't have briars, that I know of, but we do have virginia creepers. They are all over our property. We also have wild...

Classic humor! Loved them as a kid and the keystone cops. No that doesn't really age me, I was watching them on reruns. LOL

Is she a cross breed? I'm looking at the Painted Desert Sheep Society website and they say that ewes that are cross breeds may get horns. Whatever she is, she's a beauty!! I may decide on getting this breed instead of the Katahdin when I'm ready for sheep...

Open Arms Acres? Sounds like you're going to have your hands full!

Thank you! I'm excited to be here too! It's nice to see someone nearby here! @Finnie I'm excited to see how it develops too!! I'm so anxious to get started, but trying not to push my self too hard at the moment.

Hi there. Found this site through Backyardchickens forum, where I have the same name as here. My husband, my elderly mom and myself just moved into a house on 6.5 acres in Tyler, TX. The land is just about perfect for all our homesteading needs. Some foresty areas, a pond (which needs to be...
