It is that time of year again. You know, that time when Spring is so close and yet so far. Yesterday’s snowfall of 2-1/2 feet has us feeling “tis the season” …not for Winter Wonderland but for Spring to show herself! Well she’s starting… We’re hatching chicks! Rhode Island Red Chicks for sale here! Now I will […]
Tis the Season for Baby Chicks! Read More »
Starting this past fall, we have been working our way around the house replacing or filling in all the old windows of the store that were not in good enough shape to keep. If it was a nice day and we had more than a couple of hours, we would knock off another window. All

I know some people are looking at the month of February and thinking to themselves that we have a long way to go until we turn the corner to some golden days. Part of me feels that way. It really does. The other part of me looks at the last couple of months and wonders

Today, we pulled our 49 taps out of the maple trees. It was bittersweet. The bitter part was saying goodbye to the trees that we trudged to every evening for the last few weeks. It will be a whole year until we make those journeys again, which in some cases involve going through thickets and

That title… I think… is referring to all of the activities we are doing and still need to do before the big cold and white settles down on us. The days are getting shorter and so is the time we have to wrap up the outside activities. Perhaps the most exciting part about this fall

Assuming you read the title of this post properly, I assure you that I did write billy goat. I know, we didn’t want anything to do with a male goat at least for a few years, so we couldn’t possibly be having billy goat adventures. Except now we are. You see, the thing about

For quite some time now, we at the Hust Roost have been dreaming of starting a store. This year, we began with a humble little table by the road. The success of that table, along with the support of local friends and customers, has pushed us to work harder to make a store a reality–sooner rather

My stepmother, Cathy, left one week ago today to be with two of her sisters in California while they recovered from a kidney transplant surgery (one of them gave her kidney to the other). With all credit going to God, the surgery went very well, and the recovery processes are going as planned. Any and all prayers for them
