A few days sooner than I wanted but I harvested the sweet potatoes today. Can you believe all this came from a few slips taken from an organic store bout tuber? CRAZY! #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Processing peppers, herbs, and more today. #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

When the weatherman says “Frost Warning “ and you aren’t ready for garden season to end. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #autumn #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Spent part of the morning at the groundbreaking for Appalachian Outlaw Trails. Scheduled to open May 2026. Holstein House is side-by-side friendly! 😁 #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #offroad #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

I'm getting my small sweet potato patch ready for the big dig. #SweetPotatoHarvest, #MicroHomestead, #HomesteadingTips, #GardenPrep, #FallGarden, #SweetPotatoes, #GardeningHacks, #nostr, #grownostr

A little yard work today. Seems I drew a crowd. LOL. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #autumn #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! My supporters cheering me on while I exercise this morning! LOL #health #seniorfitness #wv #usa #grownostr #gm #pv

Good morning all y’all! Today I got my first indoor two-mile, walk-fit type exercise in. I have been working on this since July 21. I started with a five minute routine from yes2next on Youtube. The second week I went through it twice each morning M-F. I then moved up, every couple weeks. I have noticed an improvement in my abilities to walk through stores without getting tired, and getting housework done without having to stop and rest as much. Time to tend the critters ☺️ #oversixty #health #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr

Don't know what's worse. Dragging the rug outside to scrub, or using that little spot cleaner on it. #nostr #grownostr #holsteinhouse #wv #usa

Good morning all y'all! I can't believe it's 9:00 already! These late sun-up mornings are messing me up. Container garden still producing some things. The kale and Swiss chard really love this time of year. Betty had a seizure yesterday morning. It didn't last long but I had a lot of dog pee to clean up. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #autumn #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

So what caused my Wednesday to go to poop was when the power co stopped in and removed the line to the building where my deep freezer was. They were going to cut a tree back off it but the line was deteriorated too bad. So, with Mr. Holstein out of town I was scrambling. Managed to create a temporary fix. Today we are moving it all to the house basement. #grownostr

Before my Wednesday went to poop I got four more luffa processed and drying. I cooked all the kale and Swiss chard I had. Gathered the last handful of green beans. This morning I got my 40 minutes of walk-fit in. Critters and poultry fed and tended. I put dad’s wheelchair in the car for his appointment. It’s 8:30 and time for my breakfast. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #autumn #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Wonder what I can make with mini-peppers, a cherry tomato, and a couple strawberries? They are enjoying the cool weather and rain. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #autumn #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good late morning all y’all! Lots to do around Holstein House today. Preparing for the transition to autumn decor outside. Watering whats left of the garden, drying luffa. What does your weekend look like? #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Cut four luffa today. So many more coming along. Probably the only great crop in ages. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gn #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! Jacked-up morning. Got my 40 mins of walk-fit. Was unable to get the Tractor Supply app to update bank card so I sit waiting for them to open so I can get poultry feed. I don’t normally wait till I am out. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #summer #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Hey am I the only one feeling like Charlie Kirk has become a worshiped idol? I hate that he was killed. I am pained on behalf of his family. I am not however losing my mind, wailing, and gnashing my teeth over it. #grownostr #nostr

Good morning all y’all! Been busy this week with drs, labs, chores, and the Homesteading-ish conference. Now that the dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and garden are tended I have to get ready for church. LOL How was your weekend? #nostr #grownostr #homesteading #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel

Good morning all y’all! Early fasting blood work. Should know next week about the B12 thing. Just basic things done so far. #grownostr

Errands this morning. All chores and exercise completed. Can you see it?
