Forays into Homesteading
August 19, 2014
I have often sat and had to write a newsletter, blog, letter, and wondered, what should I write about. Â Many of the things I find exciting or interesting, have bored others to tears. Â The reading and researching, hanging out in libraries where I have run through the aisles like a kid at a candy store grabbing books upon books about food, gardening, crafting, cooking, animals, some with bright and big pictures, others as sombre as dictionaries. Â Libraries are something that are vastly underappreciated. Â
Â
So I like to hope, that no matter how boring or silly some of these posts may seem, there may be a few people like me out there, who love to hear about other peoples' adventures and misadventures in homesteading.Â
Â
Like my library habits, I am the same at home with my different interests, flitting from one project to the next, driving my partner insane with the little piles of not quite completed crafts. Â So I know a little about many different ways to waste and enjoy time, and hope to share some here with you.
Â
Here are some of the projects I hope to discuss on this blog, along with recipies and other info about our homesteading.
