Serious Blogging Up Ahead

| | Comments (0)

I just celebrated my one year anniversary of blogging at Homestead Blogger. I've met some very nice people there and learned quite a bit about raising chickens, baking bread, and preserving fresh garden bounty.

I think, though, that Blogger might offer me the opportunity to expand a bit on what it is that I'm learning now. We've just moved onto our property in the last four weeks and spring is here in a big way, with warm, dry weather. There is much to do to get this little piece of earth ready to farm, to grow fruit and vegetables, to have livestock and begin to move not just to self-sufficiency, but to provide for others who don't have access to land but are willing to pay for home-grown food.

Sometimes I want to just pontificate on agriculture issues. I want to write about how raising sons in a more rural setting affects our family. How God is working on my contentment, the attitude of my heart, the direction our family is headed. I need to put it down in a place that appreciates it all, and I think that's going to be here.

So, I guess this is a second start for this diary and I'll post both places for a while to see how it works. Time will be short since we have so much to do outside. But I hope to see you here on a regular basis, to share what I'm learning. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the mention. It looks like you have figured out the instructions. You are are making progress. It should get easier from here. And all you like is finishing. Tell Denise I'm ready for the 1 pound of butter when she gets it made. I have found a way to agitate the cream. I'll just care it around in my dump truck all day

We shopped the removal around quite a bit to find a lower price, and part of the deal we got with the company that did finally take it down involved them removing all the wood. They were able to sell it somewhere to offset their removal costs. We kept some of the smaller branches to use as firewood this winter. Mike is planning to seed the spot where the stump was removed soon.
