Homestead Barn Hop #87

I've had a bit of a hiatus from the various linkies of late. With the twins' birthday, Halloween, 2 weddings, and a bunch of other stuff, I just didn't make time for it. But today I'm glad I went to look at the Homestead Barn Hop, because there's a dozen interesting links over at the Hop! I posted up my potato soup recipe and the prepping 101 commentary I did about the kids. Do you have things to share over at the Hop? Go peek at what they're up to! You can also enter your own links here.

A new endeavor

I just got turned on to a new backyard farming blog: Simple and Joyful. Gretchen, the author, seems to be pretty plucky and interested, and today she had a GREAT post about bees. Seems she just got her own bees this spring, and has been observing and interacting with them all summer. It was fun to look at her images (great photography, by the way!), and interesting to read. Have a pop over and visit her site and today's post! Oh, and she's started a "backyard farming" linky for those of us who do such things. Yay!
