Barn Hop 45

Welcome! Were marching right on through January at lightening speed! Were does time go? It certainly isnt standing still? It has suddenly come to my attention that its time to place my order for bees, any seeds I might need for spring, get the goats tested for CAE and CL so that I can breed my doe, get more raised beds built that I have planned for the year, have my dear husband make some trellises Ive admired and desperately need,... {taking in a gasp of air...}

Ill stop.

The weather here has been spectacular! On the down side, no rain or snow = no moisture. Hmmm... its either feast or famine. But since it is what it is, I need to "make hay while the sun is shining" and get to that list!

Last week at the Barn Hop, we said good bye to Megan as a hostess (although shes still blogging!) and hello to Kelly. Then I shared that Ive joined Raising Homemakers as a contributor. As promised, I have still another announcement that Ive been saving all week.

Those of you familiar with the Preparedness Challenge, know that I have changed these from every Saturday to only the last Saturday of each month, giving us more time to do a few preparations. Im pleased to share that USA Emergency Supply and Tattler Reusable Canning Lids will be sponsoring these monthly challenges! Both companies are right there with us, helping to get everyone prepared whether its for filling your pantry by preserving the harvest or repacking grains purchased through your local co-op. (Check out Tattlers new redesigned website!)

AND... for each Preparedness Challenge, USA Emergency Supply will be hosting a give-away! Woo hoo!! Hows that for fun! Ill be sharing the specifics about a week before the first 2012 Preparedness Challenge, so keep an eye out for advance details.
