A delicious brunch, crafting, jars filled with tomatoes, a new goat shelter made… nothing fancy… we’re just living simply and enjoying the good life.

Learning to Sew!
Gave Miley sewing lessons and then got more tomato sauce canned. I’m getting so close to getting all my pint jars filled… what a great feeling!
My Canning Disaster!
It was a sad couple days at our house. First, we took our goat kids to the sale because it’s getting to be that time of the year to down size for winter. Then something went wrong in the canner and my jars of tomato sauce ended up spewing all over the canner and were ruined, so I had to can them all over again. Despite such a rough start the day ended with a relaxing ride to the creek and some entertaining words from Neville.
Super Simple Way To Make Tomato Sauce
This is a simple way I’ve found to make tomato sauce. You can check out my post, Easy Way to Make Tomato Sauce for more info.
Let’s Pick A Snack!
Peppers, peppers and more peppers… got them all chopped and in the freezer. With supper running late, good thing there are apples on the tree so we could pick a snack.
Picking Peppers in the Dark!
The morning started out cold so we warmed the house by starting a fire in the fireplace. Spent the afternoon canning beans, then remembered after supper that there might possibly be a frost that night. Even though they probably would have been fine, we decided to go ahead and pick all the peppers when we did our evening chores.
Turkeys, where did you go?
We got the beans picked and snapped, now we just need to find time to can them.
A lot of times I don’t follow recipes and will just randomly make something according to what we have on hand. Sometimes it turns out great, other times not. Tonight’s supper was one of those experiments.
At chore time we found the turkeys missing so we had to find them and put them back in the coop. Always something around here….
Worming Goats and Trimming Hooves
Got the usual fall worming and hoof trimming done on the goats. Picked a nice selection of produce from the garden for supper. Why is it that fall produce tastes so much better?
Wow… that fence IS hot!
I picked tomatoes while Michael worked on expanding the pasture fence. Brooke decided to buy the car so the kids were busy helping her clean and shine it up. Dylan wondered exactly how hot the electric fence was so he tested it out for himself.
Gobbling With the Turkeys & A Super Simple Supper
Conversations with the turkeys, being captured by a cat squirrel, chores, freeing a stuck goat, a new nest of guinea eggs, beautiful weather, lots of produce from the garden, and a simple supper. It’s just another great day on the homestead.
