Howdy!
Ok, so I wrote an article yesterday about harvesting herbs/weeds from your back yard that can help you with seasonal allergies and sent it in to BackHome Magazine to see if they might be interested in it. Today, I got an email back from the editor saying that they are interested and would like to publish it in their Sept/Oct issue!!! Woo Hoo!! I’m goin’ national, baby!! No, really, the biggest boost to the ego isn’t that I want to be famous, it’s that feeling “yeah, you know what… you do have something good to say that others might benefit from”. I’d better go renew my subscription!! 🙂
In other ‘big’ news, check out this mondo egg! The one on the left is our standard xtra large variety egg!! One of our Americaunas (poor thing) laid the one on the right. Toby had it for breakfast this morning and said it was a double yolker! Ouch!
Here are the latest house pictures I’ve got. The first two are of the rafters that have been going up. The third is from our party this weekend when we had a center post raising! It weighed ~600 pounds, so we needed a bunch of hands! It’s so amazing to see this progress and to know that this will be our home and that so much friendship and love has gone into it!
good for you! i’ve been writing articles for the essential herbal but haven’t ventured into ‘the big time’ yet.
do they pay you there? i know some do.
the house is definitely moving along! do you have an estimated finish date for it yet?
Yes, this will be my first paid article! I think it is only $35 per printed page, and something for any pictures of mine that they use… but still, that’s something!!
As far as the house, we aren’t sure. We’ve never built anything like this before, and no one we are working with has ever built a cord wood house. But, we are aiming for ~winter solstice time…
excellent! every little bit helps.
btw, what happened to toby’s blog?
Congratulations!! I’ll have to run out and get that copy this Summer.
Congratulations on the article! I’ll have to keep an eye out for it =)
