I’ve just replied to a comment from one of my favorite bloggers, Jane Fritz. I’m having a time finding time to post on my blog so I usually post two or three things in one day to make up for lost time. I’m hoping you are enjoying the posts and I’m trying to figure out when I can best put more posts on the blog.
My weekdays start up at six everyday, get ready for work and wake myself up good before getting behind the wheel of my car. I work from 8-4 each day about 35 miles from home and home by five.
We eat supper which my wonderful hubby has ready when I walk in the door and then we head outdoors for chores and work or enjoy the farm until dark which is around nine and then I’m in the shower and off to sleepyland!!
Weekends are my best posting time and I don’t get much of that. I am trying though. I hope you all have a marvelous weekend. The rain has stopped here for the moment and sun is bearing down. Too wet to do much outdoors so I’m starting my spring cleaning.
I’ll leave you with a view from my front porch and a some of the wildlife we see from there!!

I am a wife, mother, and grandmother that lives on a farm in Craig County, Virginia and I am retired. I love to cook, read, quilt, craft, garden, hunt and take long walks in the woods. I have one gorgeous teen granddaughter, a wonderful little grandson and two beautiful and caring children, boy & girl.
I've been married to my farmer husband for 46 years and he's the "love of my life"!!
I love doing things the "old" way such as canning, making maple syrup & cider, handcrafts and baking. I've taught myself to crochet, embroider, and quilt with help from my paternal grandmother. I could read until the cows come home.
We live off the products we raise and hunt for the most part. We run 75 head of cattle on our farm, 30 chickens, three rabbits and one dog. I help my husband with the cattle, feeding the livestock, hauling in firewood, fence repair, and general maintenance on the farm.
I was a stay-at-home mom to my children and then went to work when they finished high school. I was a cook at a School for At-Risk Teens and part-time substitute teacher. Then I started work at our local Farm Bureau and stayed there for 17 years. I worked at Virginia Tech for almost five years and decided to take early retirement in July of 2015. NOW, I'm a full-time farmwife and loving every minute of it!
I love to read fiction and the Bible. I'm currently hooked on quilting novels and Annie's Attic mysteries.
I started this blog in 2011 and have met so many interesting bloggers and have kept up with my friends through my blog.
I love to hunt with my bow and rifle and with a camera. We hunt to fill the freezer and cellar but would never kill anything for the fun of it.
I have friends and family all over the United States. Some of my ancestry last names are Bradley, Dickson, Hylton, and Rose.
I've lost both of my parents to brain cancer and miss them very much. I have one sister and four living brothers. I was raised in Paint Bank VA and moved to New Castle VA when I married. I went to school in Waiteville, WV, Gap Mills, WV and New Castle Va with a short semester of college at Virginia Western Community College in Roanoke VA.

Rita my girl, you post when you can. Our lives are very busy, don’t put added stress on yourself.
Love the pics, when I lived in Wilmington NC I had a crazy amount of Hummingbirds. I think I saw 2 since I’ve moved here. How do I attract them?

Make your own feed for them=1 cup sugar to four cups water. mix well and heat in microwave for 5-6 minutes. let cool. some people add food coloring but you don’t need to do that. Pour it in a feeder when it’s cool and wait. They love the red on the feeders and once they start coming they’ll come every year.

I think it’s fine posting when you can… I love many blogs, but I get bogged down having to read them every day… a lot of the fun goes out of it, if there are too many I feel…I think we can choose how often, the main thing is to enjoy doing it.
having just come to your blog, I love to experience the peace and tranquillity of the life you share.. thank you

I agree about being bogged down by reading them all and I follow so many. I’m also very glad you are following mine and I try very hard to get across the hopes and dreams of our farm but also as you say the tranquility of living here. It just can’t be beat after a long day in the city! You’ve made me feel better about the time I put in my blog. Hope you have a grand day!
Rita
