Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop #94

Welcome to the Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop! Can you believe it's been 94 weeks already?!? Wow!  

We're creeping up on week 100 and we've got fun farmgirl giveaways planned for our 100th Farmgirl Friday Anniversary!  In the meantime Deb, Dolly, and I look forward to your farm-filled posts each week so keep'em comin'!

Your Farmgirl Friday Hostesses are-

Deb of Deborah Jean's Dandelion House, she's also the founder of our little blog party
Dolly of Hibiscus House and Dolly is Cooking and me of course!

Deb shares her picks for FEATURED FARMGIRLS of the week HERE!  Dolly's picks can be found HERE, and here are my sentimental favorites... in no particular order. 

Rose Petal, author of the blog Live Ready Now! shared a fun and inspiring post about bringing home her beautiful milk cow Buttercup HERE.  Rose Petal and her family have been living off grid for a while now and in her blog she regularly shares valuable information for anyone curious about going off grid.  She and her husband Silver Oak always manage to tackle whatever new adventure they find.   They are the Dynamic Duo of off grid and simple living.

I have been researching/planning to bring home my own dairy cow and was elated when I came across this post again.  It was originally written last April, but is timeless and will someday be a classic for newbie farmgirls like me...  Thank you Rose Petal!

Another great blogger is Clint aka: The Redeemed Gardener.  He's the reason Deb invited FarmBoys to the hop!  He is full of great ideas and helpful tips for gardening and maybe even a few insights into cultivating a strong relationship with God.

This week Clint continues his wonderful series on garden soil.  Part 2 offers insight into drainage problems and how to build up your soil with organic matter and even how to help speed up the breakdown of all that organic matter so you can use it quicker.  Clint also includes a link to the wonderful sustainable soil building documentary Back to Eden.  You can watch the movie HERE. 

Kristi of the blog Let This Mind Be in You wrote a great post HERE featuring hers and others versions of wonderful DIY mixes to help you save time and money in the kitchen.

I plan to try a few of them as soon as Jerry finishes up my kitchen cabinets.  I am really looking forward to the Chili Seasoning mix and the garlic salt recipe that features sea salt. Yum!

Well, I think that covers it.  My favorite posts always seem to revolve around food in some way... Priorities.  Ya gotta eat, right? 

I hope that you have a productive and FUN new week ahead so you'll have lots to share next week.  Now, let's get HOPPING!!!
