We've been super busy on the homestead with both planned and unplanned chores. It's prime time for outdoor activities.

Work on our many homestead projects progresses, despite somewhat whacky weather.

Spring finally arrives, but winter won't be pushed out so easily. The warm weather lets us do long-awaited chores while the freezing rains drives us indoors.

The road thaws out enough to become passable, the pipes are no longer frozen, and we take the opportunity to stock up on some critical items.

Bad weather limited what we can do outside and resulted in yet another power outage, but it was just as well. We needed the rest.

Twelve weeks after Hurricane Helene tore up our mountain, we continue to make progress with the cleanup. This time, we tackle the landslide.

Inflation hits hardest in the grocery store, but you can offset that with a garden and livestock. It can also add some spending money to your pocket.

As we leave winter behind, we start preparing for the next one, laying in a good stock of firewood to dry and season over the summer.

A damp, wet day will make the air temperature feel colder. A wood fire is an excellent antidote. Of course, that requires dry firewood.

While bad weather seems to have cut a swatch from California to Minnesota, we escaped and the bees and I both used the time productively.
