As September comes to an end, we’re happy to see the weather becoming more mild. There were times when things felt less humid up here, but compared to what we’re used to, this was just as hot or hotter during the summer. I guess with how cold it got during the winter we expected it …
Another month has gone by. And, while we continue to work on supplying the house with all the things we need, we’ve made little progress no the homesteading front. We can’t take all the credit for it this time, as our first piece of news is that we’ve encountered even more flooding! More Flooding Around …
Another month has gone by and summer is really in full swing now. Between the oppressive heat and the non-stop rain, we haven’t gotten much done outside. In fact, we’re feeling like we might never make any progress at times. But, we know this is simply not true. As the Silly Couple, we face a …
Another month has gone by and we still haven’t made any major progress on our big homesteading goals. There are a variety of factors that go into this, but we decided until we have more exciting news, it made sense to do summary posts each month.

I’m sure northerners reading will think we’re ridiculous for calling the weather her cold, but again…compared to what we’re …
Since we don’t yet have any solid content around homesteading, I’m here again to post something else. We paid a visit this weekend to Chiefland and checked out the Flea Market there. And, we were quite impressed. While I’ll leave it up to Victoria to share any specifics of what we got, I wanted to …
Hey there silly fans! Today I wanted to make a quick announcement post. And, I have to admit this post comes with some mixed news. So, first and foremost, we closed on our home in St. Pete today. That’s why this post includes a picture of us in front of our favorite feature of the …
