Turnbull -OT Ranch

The apple trees are in full bloom and the honey 🐝 are loving it!!

Change...can it really happen? YES! but sometimes it is forced... Since January 2020 until now I HAVE CHANGED, because I had to. My dad died, my step-dad had two heart attacks, my mom had a stroke, my uncle died, my father-in-law died, my step-grandpa died, we sold three homes, closed a business, opened a business, built a house and became steward of 140 acres of land.... There are blessings in the change, so many, but you HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM. Instead of being crushed, I choose to find the Glory that hides in the hardship. So as we start into a new year, I hope you choose to find Glory as well!

It will be wonderful to have a native plant nursery!!!

It was front-page news in today's Bonner County Daily Bee as well as the main topic for the KRFY Morning Show today: Kaniksu Land Trust announced it has acquired the Aster Garden Design Center, which will continue to operate as a nursery for native and pollinator plants, as well as house the KLT offices.

This account has some WONDERFUL information about sewing machines!!

Ever been told your machine is “self-lubricating”? It does *not* mean your machine magically hydrates itself like a fancy skincare routine. Truth is: modern machines still have metal parts rubbing together. They still dry out. They still need love. But instead of telling you this, manufacturers slapped on a “maintenance-free” label and called it innovation. ✨Spoiler: it’s not. It’s just a great way to sell you another machine when this one seizes up. ✅ If it’s been over a year? Book a service appointment. 👂 Hearing clunks or squeaks? That’s your machine crying for help. ❤️ Want it to last? Maintenance isn’t optional. Follow for no-BS machine care tips from a sewist turned technician. I’m here keep you sewing (and keep good machines out of the landfill.)
