Homesteading

Homesteading:  A weekly account of our journey to becoming off grid homesteaders.  Our path will be long as we are only paying in cash and our funds are very limited.  Mike and I have no idea what we're doing so we'll be learning as we go.  I know we'll make mistakes and that's ok.  It's all part of the process.  

We would love to read about your homesteading experiences, so if you'd like to share your favorite resources, tips, funny stories, recipes, books, website or even just a photo from the week, please leave a link in the comments.

Today, I realized it's been nearly a month since I wrote about homesteading.

We spent the last weeks bringing our season to an end.

Saddened by our now infrequent trips, yet thankful for the lull to sit down and take stock of plans and all that we need to read and learn over the winter.

The camper's been packed up and will be hibernating in my father-in-law's barn.

The fallen trees have all been chopped up and stacked for tree branch buttons, ornaments, and next years firewood.

One last walk down the trail.

Making our shadow portrait a fall family tradition.

We've also put together a seasonal wrap up to be delivered by email this week!  If you'd like a copy, be sure to sign up for our mailing list at the top right corner of the blog.

Now, I'm off to make pumpkin pie....
