Homesteading

There is always some outside work waiting to be done. Why not do it when the weather is warm and the sun is shining?

Adding a good-size dog to our prepper property has been a goal of mine since Day One.

One year in, we would move from the city to the mountains again. If you are looking to go rural, maybe you can benefit from our experiences.

We are working to make fall plantings, clean up the homestead, stock up, and generally make sure we are ready for winter.

The cold is giving us a rest as outdoor chores dwindle and we have time to relax and step back from the demands of homesteading.

The weather interferes with our plans, but work progresses on the homestead as we continue to ready for our chicks and bees to be delivered.

The garden is slowing down, the new chickens are laying tiny eggs, the firewood is dry and seasoned. I can' wait for winter.

An unexpected warm spell presented the perfect opportunity to get some work done on the chicken coop and beehives.

Our first experience at raising chickens continues to go well. These ladies are about halfway to early adulthood and should be laying in a couple months.

The blizzard behind us, the warm temperatures provide relief for people and livestock and a chance to do homestead chores.
