Welcome to the Fron-tier

That is what I said to my kids this morning when we were all snuggled in our bed this morning because the stove went out some time last night. Daddy hopped out of bed to go light it and landed in a puddle of water on the floor. Yep the roof is leaking! So glad it is not leaking over our bed! So I greeted the kids this morning with a Loud Joyful "Welcome to the Frontier!" Not my normal "Good Morning Big Guy" "Good Morning Little Lady!" So now today I have a deep desire to look up some homesteading stories...for now just this one.



The first people who lived on this (intermission...the lights are dimming...maybe we will lose power too!! Yippeee candle party!) little piece of land: here is their story: Mr. (Not Sure His Name) built a house then went to pick of his little wifey. When they arrived home the house, built of sticks, had been blown to pieces. Gotta love the wind to live here! So Mr. and Mrs. Homesteaders lived under their covered wagon until they could build a more practical Sod House!



And now for a picture I had started posting a few days ago, due to numerous interuptions, it did not get done. Big Guy and Little Lady were "sharing" and apple. Yes Sharing in more ways than one!!

LOL! I guess the best thing to do in a bad situation is to make the best of it! Hope you get the furnace working and the leak fixed and your house doesn't blow away in the meantime. :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the sunflower/windmill picture! BEAUTIFUL! And you get to look at this? Thanks for sharing! I LIKE your frontier!!!
