    If we were having coffee…

    January 2, 2016

    If we were having coffee, I’d give you a great big hug (if you’re a hugger) and wish you a very Happy 2016! I’d ask how you rounded out your year, if you did anything special on New Year’s Eve, and if you make resolutions for the New Year? I’d…

    If we were having coffee…

    December 19, 2015

    If we were having coffee I’d hug you big and thank you for meeting me out in the hustle and bustle of holiday prep!  Then, I’d ask how you’re doing and what your plans are for Christmas (if you celebrate) and ringing in 2016?  I’d then tell you that we’re…

    If we were having coffee, I’d hug you extra tight and ask you’re doing?  We’d no doubt start off our time together talking about the tragedies in Paris and around the world in just the last couple of days and which might send us into talks about our evolution as…

    If we were having coffee, I’d be running late because I didn’t set my alarm and am quite slow moving this morning.  But I’d greet you with a big hug, tell you how nice it is to see you again, and ask you how your week’s been? If we were…

Hello and Welcome! I'm so glad you found our little corner of the internet! The bad news is... As of 2025, no new content is being added to this site. The good news is... There is roughly 15 years of homestead/DIY/backyard-to-diversified farming experiences shared in the posts on this site for you to peruse!

Please, grab the beverage of your choice and enjoy looking around. And if you're interested about what life looks like now (yes, we're still farming, I'm just not writing about it all the time anymore), join me Under the Elderberry Tree. Ever Onward, Melissa

LOVE IS LOVE.

All are welcome, safe, and celebrated here.
