I have been mostly absent the past few weeks as, other than a bit of harvesting for the chickens, garden and property clean-up, and chicken maintenance, my days have been more focused on non-homesteading activities. I got a new roof put on the house… Continue Reading “FRIENDS, FAMILY, & SERVICE”
When my children were young, I baked homemade bread each week (I even ground the wheat!). I eventually moved out of that phase and, like most people, returned to the convenience of store-bought bread. During the pandemic, store bought bread was hard to come… Continue Reading “IT’S NOT ALL SUCCESS”
