Monasteries Of The New Dark Ages

Some one said recently that they think "Homeschools are the monasteries of the new dark ages". Kevin Swanson mentioned it in his lecture on Multi-generational Homeschooling. Ah, certainly that is a powerful ambition. We are here to guard and treasure the WORD of GOD,...

Six Flags Over Georgia

It is almost difficult to believe that an entire year has passed by since my first encounter with the Six Flags theme park atmosphere.  Last year I was slow to acclimate, uncertain of my taste in intense recreation.  I came to think of myself as a sort of killjoy...

Blogging With A Purpose Commendation

As I have said before, it is especially important to be resolved in your convictions on the internet where freedom of speech is greatly abused. More Christian bloggers need to be considering this! Writing can be significant for both righteousness and evil. Written...

Madlibs

I ventured to enter Jocelyn's most recent competition last night.  This is what became of my Astronomy madlibs on my first try (as you can see at the beginning, I have a slight obsession with the article adjective, "the"): Copernicus Four hundred years ago people knew...

Football Phenomenon

Sports are an indomnitable attraction in our national heritage (kudos to our Greco-Roman predecessors, no doubt).  Alabama football is especially significant.  Believe me not?  Judge for yourself.  92,000 + people (some had to be turned...

The Making Of A Logo

Well, the time came for a logo to be designed.  No longer may we find excuses for using various chicken drawings hither and yon, but I must also take responsibility for all the "Oohs" and "Boos" that are deserved. Keep in mind that it has been...

Is There Such A Thing As Self-Reliance?

Days are longer, and the weather is cooling and warming by turns.  Thus, I cannot rely on the weather.  The latest technological desktop computer in our household gave out under the affliction of 1,400 viruses.  Thus, I cannot rely on the latest...

Moving Forward, Fair Hills Farm Style…

There are times when plans that have been long held as ideals become resolved.  Today was one such time; yesterday was its prequel. The new chicken coop - or  barn, rather, as we enjoy calling it - arrived yesterday.  Mom and I spent the rest of...

Toiling In The Realm Of Wind And Dirt

My absence has since been occupied by work in the realm of physical laboring on the land, involving gardener's net, as opposed to the internet. Mom and I constructed a fair enough fence around the garden in order to keep our produce pure from the presence of animals....

Frolicking At Fair Hills Farm

The chicks were let out for the first time at two weeks of age (we had to wait for the weather conditions to be right).  Below are photos and videos of their first two outings.  We have also begun construction on the new chicken coop.  It is going to...

Progress…

Progress has three phases with me right now. Progress that has been made, progress that is being made and progress that must be made. The hens are laying again (we had eggs for breakfast this morning!), our 19 chicks are thriving (7 others died suddenly awhile...
