Random 5 Friday


1.  We have tried for years to come up with the right name for our homestead.  We are now looking to some Celtic names for inspiration.  What do you think of Aisling Acres (Aisling =dream or vision)?

2.  We were thrilled to see our bees out and about for a few hours on Wednesday.  I am so glad they had the opportunity, since it appears that our temps are headed back down to the basement.

3.  I am going to try these muffins this weekend.  How can they be bad!?

4.  We got all of our seeds for the garden sorted this week, ordered some new ones, and have our plan for seed starts mapped out.  Now we will just wait and see what Mother Nature has in store for us...which at the moment that I am writing this is a 50 mph wind.

5. I recently finished Life after Life and have now been reading Monuments Men.   I have been digging being thrust into the WWII era and seeing it from such vastly different experiences.

  4. I love your Celtic name for the farm. I've been doing the same thing for years and finally came up with Ceilidh (kay-lee) Cottage. I think it's so quirky and delightful to name your house. Love it. :-)

    Good luck making muffins. They look scrumptious!

  6. Is it time for seeds? My friend asked if I wanted Monuments Men after she finishes it, now I think I will say yes.
