This first year at The Whimsy Dome surely brought a wealth of learning along with it. This year we had the buckshot method in the Greenhouse & garden. We wanted to try a little bit of everything and see what went well with little to no maintenance. I am loving the tropical & jungle vibe in the greenhouse and plan to haul most of the planters into the green room or eagles nest in our house, for the winter. I bought some planter hauling straps to give us our best shot to move these planters inside for the winter!

Thanks all for following along! 

Check out our most recent video all about our move & a tour of the home!

Greenhouse in January

 Here at the Whimsy Dome, we have busy hands. Since pretty much day one, Sean and I have been hopping from project to project taking only momentary breaks in between.  This weekends plans were pretty wide open so on Friday after work we decided to head to Norway, MI to go and pick up three free lights from a car dealership that was upgrading their lighting.  We looked it up and these puppies can be $300-800/piece! SCORE! Saturday Saturday morning I woke up early at 6:30 to head to work by 7 for my 7:30 AM personal training client. I took this video right on our way out of the house to head to the gym. Before we made it in the car Ozzy took off and was gone for nearly 30 minutes on one of the coldest mornings. Luckily he returned unscathed by one of the many dangers that lurk in our woods. (Owls, bald eagles, hawks, coyotes just to name a few) This was an easy lesson to learn and from now he will be a leash-dog! I'm grateful nothing happened, it was a blessing. After about...

The Whimsy Dome Joins 21st Century with STARLINK WIFI

Image
 Hello Everyone! I've never been so excited to write a blog post update before. This is exciting news, but before I get into it. Let me give you a little backstory. April 2020 | Champlin, Mn   Amazing Wifi $40/mo no contracts, and wifi was unlimited. (At this time I thought all wifi was unlimited.) July 2020 | Wallace, MI Our options up here in Upper Michigan are very limited.  Hughs net is Satellite wifi, but is not offered at our address. Astrea costs $109/month for up to 25 speed with a 2 year contract no trial period and no cancellations. Oh and by the way it gets slower when its rainy, foggy, snowy, icy, or during peak hours when too many people are on. So basically never I would imagine. Never in a billion years would I sign a two year contract for that bologna. Oh and they can't gaurantee that it will work at your address.. Spectrum is the only wired internet provider in the area (that I know of) and they are 7 miles down the road and would cost a fortune to g...

Spring has Sprung at The Whimsy Dome

Spring has Sprung at The Whimsy Dome! As you know, springtime for a homesteader is a busy time of year. This year is especially busy for us as well as it is our first Spring in the home! We moved in July 28th so the plants and flowers that bloomed before are all a wonderful treasure waiting to be discovered! This property has many fruiting & flowering trees & plants that we know of already!  These beautiful purple flowers are right outside our summer bedroom door! ☀️ These little yellow guys were some of the very first to show up! 4-7-21 This purple one PUSHED its way through the leaves!  Tiny white flowers cover the Forrest floor. The moss begins to awaken with the frequent rainfall. Dafodils pop up next to the pirgola  Absolutely brilliant! There is nothing prettier than a flowering
