I used gorgeous reclaimed aged wood from our old 1880’s barn, vintage clothespins and my favorite Homestead photos to produce a wall photo feature we love!

We needed a headboard for our guestroom. I wanted something old, but antique shops are just not filled with queen-sized headboards.
So we used repurposed wood from our 1880’s barn. I absolutely love the way it turned out!

I decided I wanted to make and pressure-can my own pasta sauce. Homemade sauce means you have complete control over what goes in (and more importantly, what DOESN’T!)
I’d already used my fresh garden tomatoes to make homemade tomato sauce. Now I’ll turn some of it into flavorful pasta sauce. Check out how easy it is!

You declutter, but it seems clutter creeps back in silently. See how RancherMan & I easily reduce the clutter and ‘visual noise’ in our home & then how we KEEP it decluttered. It’s actually very easy *if* you know what to do.

It’s a well-known fact that diluted vinegar is a natural hair conditioner. It’s said that with occasional use vinegar helps restore the natural PH of your hair. It also helps clean buildup from your hair. Plus it not only restores that healthy shine but it detangles too.
However RancherMan hates, hates, HATES the smell of vinegar. Although no vinegar aroma at all remains in your hair when it’s dry, there is a subtle hint of vinegar as your hair is drying.
To please that man in my life I’ve scented my vinegar with my favorite herb – rosemary! (a double benefit since it’s also said that Rosemary is a good herb to use in your vinegar rinse for healthy hair)

Well it looks like a sunshiny day and the wind will not be high. So I can’t think of a better reason to use my * Solar Oven
. I want to bake boneless, breaded pork chops – OUTSIDE!
It doesn’t matter if it’s going to be hot or cold outside. That’s because the outside temps don’t really affect the cooking with a solar oven. I’ve heard it said that ‘all you need is a shadow‘.
Summer or winter – as long as the sun is shining and the wind isn’t high enough to mess with the reflectors, solar oven cooking is a GO!
Today I think I’ll try my hand at baked pork chops…

Hanging clean laundry on the line under that blazingly-blue sky just speaks to my heart, reminding me of slower & gentler days gone by. ~TxH~
