I drove the tractor!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44560) • United States 22 May 19

Walking on a Country Road

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 1 Sep 16

Sadly, that wasn't as much fun as I thought that it would be. It was hot and dusty but I have another idea! There is a path through the woods that leads to the creek. I know that sounds kind of crazy from someone who is afraid of...

I must have the most horrible hair on the planet. I would love to be able to simply wash my hair and let it dry naturally and then head out. Unfortunately I can't do that. Different sections of my hair curl differently... and not...

Building our current abode

koopharper @koopharper (7599) • Canada 10 Jul 16

Thought I'd test out my skills in making a slideshow on YouTube of the building of our family home. It starts with us in the bush deciding where we want to build. Then it goes to me starting to clear the site by hand. One of the...
