Hi I’m Melissa!

I enjoy a good long walk, cooking (and eating) and being snowed in. I'm a homeschooling mom to 4 boys ages 14, 11, 8 and 5. Join me here for encouragement, ideas and sharing why I love the Great State of Maine.

We are going away soon and our very generous neigh We are going away soon and our very generous neighbors will tend our animals and keep an eye on the house. I always find it hard to show our appreciation in this situation. Do I hand them cash? How much? Do I get them a gift of some sort? They will keep the eggs that are laid while we are gone so with current egg prices, that's pretty awesome. I made up a batch of overnight cinnamon rolls from @jenschmidt_beautyandbedlam. They'll go in the freezer until we get home. I'll bake them off in the morning a day or two after we get back and bring them over fresh from the oven. That's my plan, and I'm sticking to it! . . How do you show appreciation and/or compensate when you go away and someone watches your livestock?
Looking for discount groceries, look no further th Looking for discount groceries, look no further than @tippedtrailer in Newport! . . Such a wide variety of items, always changing stock, and super friendly owner are just a few of the reasons to swing over and see what is for sale. They are adding more local products and produce toi! . . Follow @tippedtrailer on IG and Facebook for hours and regular updates on what is in stock. I'll be sure to share what I buy the next time I go in so check my stories!
Yesterday I woke up and took Phinn out. The trees Yesterday I woke up and took Phinn out. The trees were glistening! They had the most beautiful crystallized frost. I was enchanted! . . We got another foot of snow here in Maine today. We had a good day of school work as everything on our typical Monday was canceled. . . I hope your week is off to a great start!
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies pr The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalms 19:1 . . I almost didn't go out for a walk this afternoon It was cold and windy and Phinn wasn't super restless. I'm so glad I went out, the sky was such a blessing!
We aren't getting many eggs these days but this on We aren't getting many eggs these days but this one was exceptionally pretty! Thank you hens! . . I made the decision to put a light on in our coop. I have always leaned toward the school of thought that their body is made to take a break in the winter. The price of eggs, the amount of nutrition they offer, and some other factors led me to the decision. It wasn't an easy decision. I did a lot of research so for now this is the plan. I have the timer start to turn the light on in the morning rather than at night. I want them to have the gradual decrease in daylight at the end of the day. I learned that chickens don't see well in the dark so for the light to just turn off could lead them to stumbling to get to the roost. I will start the light gradually increasing the time over the next few days. The light Im using is NOT a heat lamp. Thats an entirely different discussion for a different day This will be a learning experience for sure! . . Do you light your coop?
