A poem

Once upon a time I planned to be
An artist of celebrity.
A song I thought to write one day,
And all the world would homage pay.

I longed to write a noted book
But what I did was ---learn to cook.
For life with simple tasks is filled,
And I have done, not what I willed,
Yet when I see my girl's hungry eyes
I'm glad I make good apple pie!

Beautiful April


April in Northwest Florida typically is very wet and windy. This April, however, seems to be more like our March weather. March was not typical this year with even a few frosty mornings.

This being said, our garden is still under construction. We will be planting green beans, peas (two types) and cucumbers. We will also have some long island pumpkins which will be a new crop for the Holt House.

The azaleas are still in full bloom and the herbs are flourishing.

Beautiful April!

Currently, I am learning how to make flatbreads. This event has happened twice with the first try being successful and the second, well not so successful. I will endeavor to perfect the flatbread and will blog when this happens. Maybe I will even celebrate with a photo.

Since this is my first try at a blog, I am learning and in this endeavor would love to hear back from anyone who is relatively new to homesteading.

  1. I love you Pam. I enjoyed reading your blog because it is contrary to popular belief. It takes a strong woman to feel complete as a homemaker in this day and age(which is just silly). The rest of the world is just confused on whats really important, you have a wisdom that many women don't. Not because your a homemaker but because you understand the task at hand, to build up your family without the need of shallow praise from the world. I wish more people understood this. When that STRONG mother went to work so many years ago the american family lost something it may never get back. God gave you gifts and you recognize them and utilize them in a way that glorifies him, AWESOME!!!
