Well it sure has been way to long since my last blog post. Life sure gets busy is all I can say.
It has been a terrible cold month and we have plenty of snow on the ground.
The freezers are getting dug into and the wood sheds are as well. The pantry shelves are going down, and the root cellar is not as full anymore.
The children all have had a terrible cold, along with HB. It seems to linger on and getting rid of it has become a challenge. Thank goodness I have not had any symptoms.
Poor HB ended up with pneumonia.
Mom is still the same no change. Dad is hanging on, I wish I could do more but I need to home in the evenings with my own family.
The barn family are all doing well, for these cold conditions. No more frozen water lines so far. I am hoping those days are behind us now.
I moved Cinnie my Toggenburg goat to the front pen with Wolly our old sheep. They both should be bred and due this month. I have been heavily grainy them, and if they have there young during the night when no one is around then I will have no worries about it happening outdoors or the babies wondering out into the cold.
I moved the geese into the old pig pen at the back of the barn. I had to make a move a little early as they were destroying my barn with "crap" the alleyways, my square bale hay mound and my goat milking stand. WHAT A MESS! I just could not take it any longer. I hope they decide to get comfy and lay.
My lay hens are back to laying full time again. This makes me very happy. We were only getting 2,to ,4 to sometimes none a day.
As for my fridge dilemma well after a month with it breaking down every 4 days the company we bought it from finally gave in and gave us a new one of a different brand. We ended up with a LG.
And so far so good.
The biggest thing that has gone on around here in the last month was the disappearance of Jill's Cat "Buttons" He was a huge black cat that stayed out doors over night sleeping in the barn and coming into the house to eat in the mornings, going out frequently throughout the day to use the washroom as we did not keep kitty litter in the house. He would come to the window in the dining room when he was ready to come back and meow. Well a month ago he disappeared. Three days led to a week and a week led to two. The weather was at a dead cold of -40 with the wind chill most days and HB spotted him about a mile down the road crossing it. He stopped yelled for him and he was gone in a flash. Then that was it no Buttons again. Then after a month and a very sad little girl who spent weeks after school walking the trails around and up to the sawmill shaking the bag of kitty food, calling his name it happened.
HB went to see the farmer over the road who has our next piglet. To see when he wanted it to come home. They were standing in the barn talking and Buttons ran past HB. He was shocked the farmer said that he came about 2 days ago and is pretty scared. HB tried to catch him but no luck. He came home got Jill up and they went back down. Within 10 mins they were back with Buttons. He came right to her.
She was so happy she cried.
Buttons is doing great except for losing a bit of weight, and a couple Scratches on his face. It looks like the pads of his paws must have froze but he is back to norm now.
He had a dry shampoo bath because he stunk of barn BAD! Now he smells like a blueberry muffin.
A happy ending to a very sad month. We are making a appointment for him to get checked and to get fixed and they have put out a kitty litter and Jill says he is not allowed back outdoors. So I guess we have a house cat. As long as he stays off my kitchen countertops.
Well it's time for me to hit the sack. Jill and Justin told me they would like french toast for breakfast so I need to go take out a baguette out of the freezer for morning. Good night and I hope you all are well.

Weekend News
Good Monday Morning. I hope you all had a wonderful enjoyable weekend.
Friday night I took to Jill to her Birthday party and had a lovely time. It was soooooo cold when we came home. The poor jeep sounded so rough all the way home.
We went to bed soon after getting home, as we were both tired.
Saturday morning was another freezing cold morning. I got up and had coffee with Hubby and put a crock of beans on, then went to help with the barn work. Thank goodness no more water line problems
I had to make a batch of laundry soap as I was just about out. I finished my morning by doing laundry.
I made pizza dough to rise to go with supper, and Jill helped me make a skillet corn bread. Hubby and Justin shoveled off the snow on the sawmill and shingle mill roofs. Hubby's cousin came over and helped them with some more fire wood after that.
We made a huge all dressed pizza to go with the beans,and cornbread and he stayed for supper. It was really good. .
Sunday I put on a roast of pork on early in the slow cooker with a bottle of apple jelly. Justin left early with his grandfather to go to there camp to shovel off the camp roof. They got back around lunch. We had a Sunday brunch of scrambled eggs,bacon,sausages,has browns,and toast.
I washed all the floors, and filled the wood boxes. We left both fires go out in the house for the afternoon so we could clean the ashes. I never thought of that while washing the floors,and after we took the ashes out the dust goes everywhere. Oh no! Now my floors are dirty again :(
We had a our supper and retired into the living room for the evening to watch TV. We all love Alaska The Last Frontier. Next week will start back Heartland again.
As I was sitting on the couch my lower back began to hurt. It got really bad and I had to go lay down. I'm not sure what happened.
It has hurt all night and it still is. I don't remember doing anything different. I hope I'm not putting back out like before. But this time it is even lower.
Tonight we are having pork ribs ( yes pork again) my family loves pork. I have a little of the roast left and will put into my pork fried rice to go with the ribs, and make beef fried macorroni to go with it too, as well as garlic bread.
It is going to be a messing day here weather wise. The temps have sure warmed up. It is only -11 here this morning and it is suppose to get +4 here today with 10cm of snow, then freezing rain or ice pellets( is there really a difference ) then changing to rain. That will make everything including the roads very slippery.
It will be a early evening tonight as the Kiddies head back to school tomorrow from Christmas break. I am sad to see them go back as always. But like I have said before I also like routine. I will have to come up with a good supper for tomorrow night as with it being there first day back they will be starving when they get home.
Well I better go get my ribs on to boil before going to Moms.

It's Still Freezing...
Just as the title says....it is still freezing out.... -34 was the high yesterday and it went to -40 throughout the night. And we are expecting 2 more days of this weather.
The firewood is getting hit hard. Thank goodness we had extra, and Hubby had cut and brought out some more. He spilt it up small and Justin made 3 piles on the front porch. It is green and froze but when there is a good fire on we fill the stoves and it burns great. We also pile it in under the steps behind the stove and it drys in no time.
So our little home stays very warm and cozy.
Hubby had a terrible time yesterday trying to my jeep running but finally after supper it went. He had to come back home from work at 1 yesterday as the water in the barn froze again..... But he did some modifications ( which we call Jerry rigged) as his name is Jerry. Hehe! And he got it going much better now. After -40 last night it is still running.
I walked to my Moms yesterday and when I was coming back home over the hill. It looked so cute to see all the chimneys puffing smoke out. 2 from the house,1 from Hubby's garage, and a little ones from my old chicken coop, which is now Justin garage. It looked like a little village down in the valley.
As for my fridge. Well they called and said that they were not replacing the fridge now, because the part will be in today and the repair will be out to fix it. Very upsetting on my end!!! Last item item I buy from that store.....
Jill has a Birthday party later this afternoon at a good friend of ours home. We both ate looking forward to going.
I have gathered up all my new seed catalogs and am going to sit by the fire with my cup of tea tonight and browse and start to get my orders ready for the 2014 growing season even though it still is months away. Something about that just warms me up.
Well I better get out to my Moms for the day and I wish you all a warm wonderful weekend.

Burrrrr!
Happy New Year to all of you.Our New Year is starting off very cold.
Yesterday is stayed -30 as a high for the day and it's -38 when we awoke this morning.
And I am sure you know what comes with freezing temps that cold....... Freezing water lines in the barn..... ( no fun)
Hubby got up every 2 hours to put wood in stoves,and at 4 we got up. He went out to the barn to check and our water lines had froze. It is a big job to pull them out and get them going again. Then he went to start his truck to warm up to go to work and it did not want to go. My jeep was the same. So it took him awhile to get them going. Oh the joys of cold weather.....
It is suppose to stay upon us until the weekend and then warm up. There is a snow storm coming our way for Monday.
We had a terrible thing happen to us over the Christmas break. On Boxing Day our brand new 20 day old fridge stopped working and everything I had in the freezer defrosted and the fridge got warm. I called the store that we bought it from the next morning when they reopened and they told me because it was a Samsung that I had to deal right with the company. After a few hours I was able to get in touch with the repair man in my area and he came to see it. He did get it going again but said he needed to order a new part and was not sure if it would stay working until then. Well it didn't on New Year's Eve it stopped again. This time Hubby called the store. He was not happy and he did not want our 20 day old fridge fixed. He wanted a new fridge. He had a rough time with them, but they agreed and are suppose to deliver on today. In the meantime we brought our old one back in turned it on and away it went. ( can't beat the old ones) at least you an work on the old ones.....
So ladies I guess I better get a move on, I still have a few boxes of christmas decor to put away in the dining room, and more to put into boxes before heading to Moms for the day. Take care and stay warm:)

Holiday Food
I hope all my blogging friends had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by family,friends and great food. We sure did.
We had a semi quite Christmas. I tryed posting before Christmas a blogging post of our Christmas preps but with the crazy weather we had power,Internet were very hard to come by.
Then before I knew it, it was Christmas.
So I'm back and I thought I would share a little of our family traditions of Christmas food.
The last couple of weeks leading up to christmas we were very busy little elves in the Kitchen.
The girls made up there traditional gingerbread house. (But this year we had a box kit)unfountuantly I just did not have the time with Mom to get ours done from scratch. But the girls were just as happy with doing the kit.
Jill found a recipe that totally caught her eye out of the new Pioneer Womans cookbook. Marshmellow pops.
They turned out great and tasted just as good I must add.
I made our donuts,and we have been enjoying them with breakfasts. Yum!
I made chicken pot pies(it is what we call our meat pies)
The girls and I also made Christmas belly buttons. A nice little citrus refreshing cookie after all that sweetness.
We made Christmas fudge. Mmmmmmm,!
Then I made egg rolls.
And Jaynes pizza rolls too.......and Justin's cinnamon rolls......
The freezers were filling quickly.
Besides food I attended Jill's Christmas concert.
It is the last Elementry school concerts for me. :(
Christmas Eve we had another.....yes another....snow storm.....
We headed out on the terrible roads to my in laws. It took so long to get there and we did not stay very long.
Christmas morning we had to do our barn work, and clean snow before we could have our brunch, and open gifts. My parents came but my Mom was not well enough to stay and I took them back home for a few hours. My inlaws came and the children really enjoyed themselves.
We all received wonderful gifts. ( ill share a little about those in a later post)
Boxing Day we had our turkey supper and my parents came. We had a lovely meal.
We used all the turkey up by having turkey spring rolls.turkey supper paninis.Hubby took turkey sandwiches to work with him.
I made turkey soup. I even through in the left over peas and carrots at the end for added flavor.
I made a pot of turkey stock,and got 19 cups out of it.
I froze 4 cups of turkey for turkey casserole a little later on.
We used some of the leftover cranberry sauce for dipping sauce for the turkey spring rolls, and the rest Jill and I made muffins. We made blueberry cranberry muffins.
I guess our holidays were mostly around good food.
What was your highlight of Christmas?

A Continuation To A Busy Week
I am apologizing for my last post. I sent it out last week and only realized last night that it was still siting in my drafts. ( yes I guess I have to much on my plate some weeks) :)
These next few weeks are going to be full busy ones. So I wanted to pop in and let you all know what has been going on around here.
Lets start with the weather. It snowed everyday last week, except Friday where the temps climbed and we had a full day of rain. Then by supper time the temps dropped and it turned to freezing rain.
Saturday was a cold day. I slept in till 830 Yeah!!! I stayed indoors all day and cleaned the house.I put a Roast of pork smothered in marmalade into the over on low for the day.then we turned them into pork sandwiches on crusty rolls smothered in butter and toasted in the oven.we had homemade fries with them.mmmmm.
Justin helped me put up some garlands until he got a call to go to work for the farmer over the road. Then our new fridge came just before supper. I love it and am super excited with all the room. Unfourtally there were a couple of little damages inside on a self and a drawer, but the service guy will be coming out to the house to change them in the next few days.
Here it is......
Sunday morning Hubby and I were up early. -18 degrees outdoors. We got the fires stocked up and the fans running, so it did not take long for the house to warm up. I had my morning coffee,watched my pioneer woman, and started on Sunday brunch. We had a lovely brunch of ham, sausages,fried eggs, and biscuits. Mmmmmm.
Hubby cleaned out the hot water heater room, and reoragainzed it and made much more room in there. It is where I store our toilet paper,paper towels,garbage bags, paint, cleanning supplies, homemade laundry soap in buckets, extra toiletries,and light bulbs. yep I sure can store alot in there, besides having our water tank and hot water heater. You should have seen all the jusk he through out of there.I cleaned a bit more in the house and got all the laundry caught up.
I put a beef stew on to cook on the wood stove for the day and made doughboys to go on top. Talk about yummy! After a cold day.
I filled the slow cooker with oatmeal to cook over night.
I brought some meat in for the week into our new freezer on the fridge. Meatballs and rice with beef mac are on tonight's menu.
In between looking after Mom today, I am trying to clean out my cupboards under my island. I think I have a whole lot of junk that can be thrown out and space can be used for my stock and canning pots.
We are under a snow storm warning for tonight and tomorrow morning.

A Busy Week
Wow December already.....
It sure is coming fast. Time has flown here these past couple of weeks. Blogging has been put on the back burner, and I feel sad about that.
Our trip away was great. We had a warm beautiful day.We never stopped all day, and were able to stock up on a lot of good buys. I think the best part was just getting away with my family.
Mother Nature sure has been undecided on weather here in our part of the country. After nice warm temps, it switched over to freezing cold, with a whole lot of wind. We already have had to snow storms, and I think the snow on the ground is here to stay now.
It pretty much snows everyday now.
The girls enjoyed the first storm of the season last weekend.
My parents are pretty much the same, Mom has good days and others are not as good.
Justin spent the weekend working for the farmer over the road, and his evenings tearing apart my Summer chicken coop which was a 8x12' mini barn. He is going to transform it into a small garage to work in.
My chickens are now all moved into the chicken coop inside the barn. The guys promise me they are going to build me a brand new more efficient chicken coop in the spring. I would like it to be round. We will wait and see how that turns out.
Hubby is still working full time, and spending the evening in his garage doing bodywork on company Trucks for the mine.
Both Justin and Hubby are also filling a extra shed with extra firewood every moment they get.
Jillian received student of the month last Friday. We were super excited for her.
Jayne has been so busy with a heavy work load of essays to get in before Christmas. Our printer went on the bum, and it put her back a couple of days. I was able to take a run into the next town and get a new one with the great warranty I had. ( $10 well spent)
The girls worked on the tree and finished it up Sunday afternoon.
I was able last week to get a night with Hubby and we got our bathroom painted. I still have a lot more i would like to do in there to make it more country looking, but time is a hard thing to manage these days.
We bought a new fridge with our Canadian Black Friday sales. It is super huge just what I was looking for. It will be delivered on Saturday and I will post pics of it when I get it.
I am really happy about it, as I so needed a bigger fridge. Best of all it was a great deal :)
As for our farm family. We have added to new heifer calves to our home. Phoebe has friends like her now.
On a sad note out old Shetland pony passed away Saturday morning. She was close to 30. She has had the heaves for years, and that was the reason we ended up getting her, as she could no longer live in the barn at another farm. We keep our horses out doors with a shelter and they do fine. Muffin lasted 8 years here with us.
Hubby and his friend moved the horses to there winter pen on Sunday afternoon. They divided up the pen with the other animals and after a long cold afternoon they all came in to sit and enjoy a yummy turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
Monday it snowed again, Tuesday was mild with rain, and this morniing we awoke to yet another snowstorm....
yes I would say it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
