Reflecting.
December does not have to bring the blues. Reflecting on how we feel can give motivation to plan next year’s growth and appreciation.
We’re back!
Two consecutive hiatus’ bring me to this post – find out why we have been on hiatus, and the exciting things to come!
Building and Learning.
Visiting Livingoffmyland.com and bringing home trees and shrubs to improve the homestead, along with scouting more Maple Trees ready for tapping on our property. Plus reason #846 why Babydoll Southdown Sheep are the best breed.
Live for the Season
Living to support the season can be a daunting task…
Learn to support what the purpose of each season is helps to enjoy it to the fullest and also enjoy when it is over. Yes, even summer can be an enjoyment when it is over. A time to enjoy the fruits of our labor and relax enough to settle down in the hibernation of winter.
Try New Things.
From trying new ways of housing animals to altering recipes this week’s challenge is to try something new. How so you want to grow as a person?
Skill Building.
Modern homesteading is utilizing the skills of the past with the technology of today. Building a skill set is done more efficiently & effectively.
Win Some Lose Some
From losing a hen, to gaining five more, managing the crazy sheep to building new houses and collecting seeds for studying – our week has been crazy busy!
Better Late Than Never.
Corn and strawberries have provided both challenges and redemption. Bees are pollinating and chickens are, well, not being picky with the weather.
Always Learning.
Some weeks are for learning, some for mastering. Some weeks are for failing, some for exceeding. Regardless, each week has a lesson to be learned.
Strawberry Season.
Strawberries are a sure sign of summer. From wild strawberries to the full-fruit in all their sweetness. A versatile fruit loved my everyone.
