    The Cider Press

    October 17, 2018 /

    Sometimes we're so responsible and diligent, but the tasks we deal with on a regular basis are so redundant that we can get discouraged and feel like we're not doing anything productive or useful. If we don't take the time to do something that is enjoyable for the sake of our own sanity, we could grow to resent those tasks. That's why when Scott found this cider press at a rummage sale, he knew he needed to fix it up as a project for his sanity.

    Homesteading in September

    September 29, 2017 /

    Some garden seasons aren't meant to be. The weather gets in the way, a busy, unavoidable schedule, or unexpected life events. While we should look at why we failed, we should look for the silver lining and think about what did go right and what we can do better next time.
