It’s a new month and that means Amazon and Netflix have a boatload of new movies available. If you have not seen it already, Amazon Prime members can watch Angela’s Ashes this month. This one is a hard one to watch and will probably make you cry, but don’t let that scare you off.
The writing {and casting too!} is awesome, and even though it’s a heavy story line, it’s so worth watching. I’ve read the book 3 times. In a nutshell, it’s the childhood story of author Frank McCourt and how his father’s alcoholism wreaks complete havoc on his family. Like I said, heavy stuff. But if you’re in the mood to shed a good tear, this is the perfect movie for you.
Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it.
Peace out Girl Scouts & have yourself a great weekend,

I know it’s hard to imagine, but if you make more pesto than you can eat, try freezing it. I like to freeze my extra pesto in my mini muffin tin. I use a 2 tablespoon scoop so the portions are all the same. Then I simply pop the filled muffin tin in the freezer for a few hours until the pesto is frozen, then pop the cubes of pesto in a zip baggie to use later.

Hi Mavis!
My hubby surprised the begeezers out of me and went along with it, at first just to fix the floor and roof, but when he got in there and started to replace the floor, he said the whole thing needed rebuilt pretty much from the floor supports up, so that’s what we (he) did!
We were able to save the walls, but some of the 2×4 supports on them had to be replaced too. I have been an amazing helper, thinker, and laborer though, but he has done all of the building, most of the digging and now the decorative finish siding, of which is old barnwood from the barn that was on my family farm for years. It collapsed due to age, but some of the wood was salvaged, and is now coming back to life on my coop!
I hope you enjoy, this is a trash to treasure story truly, we are working on a shoestring budget, but have had a mindset of reusing what ever we can regardless of whether or not we had the money to buy. It helps the hubby is so handy with construction, but really, this is proof that something so awesome can be done with not a lot of money at all.
The first two pictures are what we started with after I started pulling some of the contents out of the old shed, ‘stuff’ accumulated over years, some we reused, some was really trash. Long story short, our family farm was neglected for a couple of decades through illnesses of my parents and some a few other things, but finally, I’m able to breathe some life back to the place I love so much.
This little perch area in the run is an old fence post from a wooded area up the hill a bit that used to be a pasture. My family is only the fourth owners of the farm, so it’s nice to let all of the past owners still have a bit of input on what’s happening here now. Sentimental, I know 🙂
If you would like to have your garden, chicken coop, pantry or something you’ve made featured on One Hundred Dollars a Month, here’s what I’m looking for:
