William made it home yesterday. We grilled steaks and I fixed a salad, baked potatoes and garlic cheese bread. Had a nice dinner and caught up on a few chores around here. William was feeling a little under the weather so didn't rest very well. With his getting up and down I didn't rest well either so I did something I hardly ever do. I called the hired hand and ask him to do the morning chores and I slept in. Well 8am isn't that late but it sure felt good. William left to get his tanker loaded only to come back home because that trip got cancelled. I had him trimming wicks and helping with candles while I caught up on some soap orders. He had someone that wanted to see pictures of goats so we took those and he headed to look at a farm tractor. I stayed home to finish soap orders and am waiting dinner for him. We are having cabbage cooked with polish sausage,potatoes,onions and garlic and the leftover garlic bread. The house smells like gingerbread and spiced pumpkin from the candles I poured so I am getting very hungry! Need to clean and put the eggs away and fold a load of laundry so guess I had better get moving. Hope you are having a great day!
This blog is a journal of the simple living on a small 2 and a half acre farm. The ups and downs. The good and the not so good. Adventures of Hidden Haven animals and some of my own. The sharing of our frugal, hardworking, attempt to be as self sufficient as possible. Please stop by often as we love company!

Hi Peggy,
So happy to hear William is home.
We had been married 21 yrs. before Dh had to be away for the night ,it about killed us.lol He was never away alot after that ,he had to travel out of town but I got to go with him . For the past 15 yrs. or so we've pretty much been together 7x24 and Love it . But you do what you have to do to make it in this world.
Hope you get some rest!
Have a great night!
Blessins',Lib
What a delicious sounding homecoming - I'm especially into the baked potatoes and garlic cheese bread. Ah, starch! My favorite, LOL. Glad William is home for a bit, and glad your day sounds so nice!
I'm comin' right over for some of your cooking!!!! I can just imagine how good your house smelled...well except for the cabbage! lol Glad to hear that William made it home but I do hope he feels better soon. Good for you for sleeping in, you deserved it!! Love you sis. xoxo

Hi Peggy,
With all that cooking and candle pouring your house must be a treat for the nose! I just love your goat pics....so cute. I would love to add some Nubians to our group...they just look so very sweet. Have a great day!

Yay!! A goat party!! What fun we could have. This little A-frame is quite cozy...I am holed up here right now waiting out a shower...so much to do out there and we really don't need any more rain here....we are all growing mushrooms in places that should not have fungus!! LOL!
pass the Garlic Cheese Bread please....
Hey! Angie over at Children in the Corn posted her metal egg basket today, too! Only hers is green. They are adorable...where'd you get yours?
BTW, that picture of all your sweet goats in the wheelbarrow is wonderful! :-)
I hope you dont mind me visiting your blog. I clicked on through my friend Brendas post. I noticed that you mentioned your husband is away alot. My husband is a long haul truck driver and away mostly 4 weeks at a time. Its comforting to find other woman that can relate to the lonliness. I think your goats are great. I want a goat, but I dont think I can just put a goat in my backyard. Although I do have room:)
Your goat pictures make me want to start a small herd; maybe I'll do that in all my spare time! :)

Im so happy to meet someone that goes through the same goodbyes I do. My husband used to be a owner operator but the fuel cost and the cost of breakdowns became to much to make a living so he went back to being a company driver. Im so grateful that I recently found this blogging world.
I ordered the black tote bag gift set for my mom for Christmas. I know she will love it, my sister was raised on goat milk as a baby
Peggy,
The food sounds delicious and I am so glad you were able to sleep in for a change. I'm sorry that William isn't feeling well. Hubby has also been feeling a little under the weather. I'm loading him up with Vitamin C.
Your photos of the goats below are delightful. The boys and I sure do miss going to the farm. I'm not sure if you're aware that it closed. A real shame that all the children that went there for animal therapy are now falling through the cracks.
Take care, my friend. I enjoyed my visit, as always.
Blessings,
Mary
I hope your day is wonderful and filled with all good things :)
thanks so much for your sweet words. I am sending people to order from you =). I also just ordered again for my moms Christmas. Hope you can keep up hehe =)
I think you guys needed a little rest time with all that you both do. You still wore me out just reading the things you did get done. hmmmm the food! come cook for me ; )
Now I have to whisper:
*I still love Diva and I don't want her to get jealous or hurt feelings but Blanche is beautiful!*
Peggy, it sounds like you had a busy day & a much deserved lie-in !
Those eggs are so pretty!
