Fonville Farm

Well we are home and I have been a busy little bee. I have been wrapping Christmas presents, of course I still have some to finish making. I rearranged my sewing room to give me more space and a better cutting area. I have been so inspired by some other bloggers that I have been reading. They seem to have it all together and it makes me a little envious. But the only way to get over that is to get up and do it myself. Maybe someday someone will be saying that about my blog.

Last night I made the most scrumptious chicken pot pie. It is so simple and the recipe makes 2, so we had one last night and the other went into the freezer for later. I am really trying to get things lined up to make healthier dinners for my family. I have always had a garden and frozen what I could and did some canning. But the canner I have I purchased for $5 at a yard sale, it is big enough to can 5 quarts, but I can't get a new seal for it. So for now I've only been able to do hot water baths. I'm hoping to get a new canner before this summer. I am going to just save my money and pay full price (something that I really hate doing). But it will save me money in the long run, so it's all worth it. Here are some pictures of the pie from last night. I will post the recipe for anyone who is interested.

This morning I awoke to an ice storm. It was very pretty. Only because it had already stopped raining and had warmed up. It's almost gone now.
