Hello, people!
How are you on this wonderful day?
My sister Sonia kept a Highland steer last summer, and she asked the butcher for the hide. For all of last winter, the hide laid in our barn, covered with a layer of salt. Finally, the weather began to turn warmer, and it was time to start working on the hide.
Here’s Coloradas in all his glory:
Below are pictures of the tanning process. For instructions on tanning please check out my posts on tanning sheepskins and squirrel pelts.
Hello, people!
Spring is here, which means… it’s time to work in the garden.
I started some pepper seeds back in March, and I transplanted them into my garden last week:
There are 2-3 varieties of peppers in there.
I haven’t transplanted my tomato plants yet, as some of them are still quite small.
Sonia and I have also been working on the hide from the Highland steer. A post on that should be coming out next week.
Check out the new post on my family’s website for pictures of a baby robin!
I hope you are all having a wonderful spring! Have you started working on your garden yet? What is your favorite thing about spring?

A few weeks ago one of my sisters took some pictures of my brother and our cat. The pictures were in a series, so we made up a little story to fit them.
Welcome back!
I had a great summer, but I was also quite busy and didn’t get to do a few more garden updates.
Anyways, I got a great harvest from my tomato and pepper plants. The two black cherry plants bore a lot of tomatoes. (I forgot to take pictures, sorry)
The brandy-wine tomatoes also grew very well. I got a few really big ones. Most brandy-wine tomatoes are between 9 – 12 oz. That’s about the size of the green one you see below. The red ones weigh about 19 oz, and the largest one I got this year was over 20 oz!
