My Little Chicken Girl - All Dressed Up
Lylah's Sun Oven Experiment - Roasting Chicken for Tonight's Dinner - Part 1
Like every other home maker, I'm thinking about every way I can to not only save money.
I know I'm saving money (after the initial investment) by gardening. I also know that I'll be saving money in developing my year long pantry and a new way that I think I'll save money is to use the sun's resources to cook as many meals as I can outside in my new solar oven.

This Book is Effecting The Way I Think About Food, Water and Other Things
I like a good challenge to my boxed in way of thinking and this book is one that is doing it for me. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle (still in process of reading it) has made me think about how I view food, water and the resources God's given us - as a nation (USA) and how much we've wasted, squandered, abused and taken advantage of them.
We're such a nation of "entitlement" and it's just about destroyed us. We know longer (rarely) sweat and work hard for what we value or what we should value and yet take for granted.
I believed we've removed a sense of responsibility from peoples lives to the degree that NOW some/many live with the idea that someone else (like the Government) owes them.
I'd love your thoughts!

Who isn't thinking about saving, frugality and pinching pennies. I remember my Grandfather always talking about being the necessity to be what he called a spend thrift (saver). He'd regularly smack his lips together as he evaluated each family member's "fox tales" as he'd call those unnecessary items of luxury.
Today, Grandfather's words and attitude toward money resonate in my head and heart and I move toward being a woman sincere about being frugal.
When I think of a frugal-hearted woman, I think of woman whose husband trusts her. A frugal-hearted woman is one who thinks about how she can be a blessing rather than a burden to her husband. And, this blessing/burden thing all starts in the heart with my attitude and then it comes out in choices and then actions that will either bless Michael or be a burden to him.
One of my role models - the P31 Woman was a worthy wife who blessed her man. As a matter of fact it says that he had full confidence in his wife and that she brought him GOOD all the days of his life. She was a CENTERED woman. She was a purposeful home keeper!
When I look at her life, I see that she was a total blessing because she had a frugal-heart in a few ways:
1. She was a planner and preparer. She lived with the end in mind.
2. She didn't act rashly or impulsively. She thought through what she wanted and invested wisely - in her home front, in the food she prepared and in preparation for those colder seasons. She lived with the end in mind.
3. She inspected a field before she bought it and she bought it with her own earnings. It says that her dealings were profitable. That has to come from a frugal heart and it had to BLESS her husband.
4. A frugal-hearted woman isn't a worry wart. It says that she laughed at the times to come.
5. From her frugal-heart came a gentle inner beauty that probably matched the physical beauty that blesses her husband.
What are your frugal-hearted ways?

Michael - The Chicken Whisperer
Hubs says: This Rhode Island Red (my grandaughter call her "Reddy") follows me around, jumps up on my lap when I visit, loves to be petted. Never had a pet chicken before...but now I do.

It's Sunday morning and I'd hoped for two eggs to make my Martha Stewart Buttermilk Pancakes. No such look. Seems like these girls weren't really ready to get down to business.
For fun, name these pics!
