Official One Girl Trucking Headquarters Years ago, this little building use to be a hog barn. It is the first thing I fell in love with when I moved to this farm. The house, still today I could take or leave, but this little gem I had to save. As soon as I entered it I had visions of what it could be and I will tell you, it didn't look anything like this. Hubs had boats, a leaky motorbike, and junk piled about as high as the old manure that had been left for the next person to clean up. When we got married, rather

As I get older, when looking back on growing up and being married, I'm noticing I have formed a style all my own when it comes to cooking and our meals here on the farm. Even though my mother couldn't keep me in the house long enough to ever cook with her when I was a kid, (I had boys to chase and dirt bikes & horses to ride) I'm very lucky her awesomeness in the kitchen somehow rubbed off on me. With the busy schedule I keep and what I see as important for any meal, I have formed my own style but it is still my

Northwestern Iowa Storm

Oct. 28 2010

Since the wind and stormy weather has yet to break in our area, I thought this would be the perfect time for this video. I took this video last Saturday night on my way to Minneapolis, the last leg of my trip. It ended up being quite a ride, as the rain made for moments of low or no visibility. I ended up stopping towards at the end of this video and having supper with hopes of the storm letting up. Sadly, I did not get out of the storm until well after midnight, which made for a long drive. I wish I had the sound of

Homemade Donuts!

Oct. 27 2010

I've mentioned it before. I'm in the nesting mode here at home. The cold weather has me wanting to do nothing but cook, cook, cook. Baking is even something that I'm indulging in a bit more this year and as you can see above, donuts I have been craving! So, I ordered this pan from King Arthur Flour, borrowed their recipe and I have fresh, baked, not fried donuts!! I just gave a light sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar and they were divine!

Not For The Faint of Heart

So. The last two weeks have been busy which is part of the reason I've been MIA around here, the other is my wireless connection has been crap. Every time I have hooked up, if I burped, sneezed or blinked I was immediately kicked off. Finally, after having visions of using both my computer & wireless card as a wheel chock, I gave up trying. Luckily my new wireless doohickey has arrived and I should be good to go from here on out when on the road! I've run two trips to Arizona back to back, and had so many bad

I Made Soup!

Oct. 19 2010

Today I'm blogging from sunny Arizona and I almost feel funny writing this while sitting 89 degree weather, but I will anyway. This week found me home for oh, only about 24 hours. It would have been even shorter if hubs hadn't hooked onto my wagon and delivered my melons for me. Since he was so good to me, I had no choice but to stay home, and enjoy a glorious fall afternoon. For some reason, I thrive on days like this. I should have been tired and doing nothing more than laying around on my sweet couch, blogging like

The Boys~ Name that Duck

A little background on our Khaki Campbell's: I was SO hoping for females, I was so hoping I would have a good supply of eggs, but I'm quite sure they are both male. Reason being, apparently their hormones have kicked in. Every morning and afternoon seems to be a ride-a-thon with Flicka and Marilyn. The girls run, but as normal the boys don't give up too easily and finally the girls give up-- or in... I'm not sure which. I don't know much about ducks, but I'm betting next spring we will be naming babies... Swedish-
