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 weather turned warm and sunny, allowing us to continue to work on our bee projects and our chicken coop. We are now ready if the bees come early. The coop needs more work.

With cold weather bringing a halt to work on the chicken coop, I worked in the shop assembling bee hives until it was finally warm enough to paint them.

Did you leave the rat race only to find you moved it to your backyard? I see this in YouTube creators who drift away from their authentic selves in pursuit of subscribers and the all mighty dollar. Avoid this trap and get back to your roots.

The winter is almost over and we have not used our wood stove for a week, but that doesn't stop the firewood deliveries.

Many homesteaders and preppers raise bees. Are they right for you? What are possible objectives for raising bees? What are the start-up costs?

More sunny weather allowed us to make substantial progress on our chicken coop yesterday. We expect to pick up with roofing late next week.

Back to the grind stone--or should I say nail gun? Warm, dry weather allowed me to get back into the field and work on framing the chicken coop.

Warm, dry weather means its time to work outdoors, so we recently picked up where we had left off with the garden fencing project.

As spring comes closer, we order our bee hive, bees, and chicks. It was a learning experience but we will plan better next year.
