    May Days

    May 9, 2022 /

    Well, it’s May! The time has suddenly gone from a slow crawl to the speed of the start of a race. I can only imagine that it will get much more intense in the coming weeks and months. Once again, I’ve tried writing many times, only to end up with nothing published. I start a post, but then need to update it, only to be interrupted partway through. So, I’ll do my best to keep this brief. First, we’re getting rid of the internet.

    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 Burnout

    March 9, 2018 /

    Homesteading burnout is a real thing. The decision to start homesteading isn't one taken lightly by anybody, and it's no surprise that it can be stressful. The question is, how do you deal with that stress, and what are steps you can take to help reduce it or avoid it in the future?

    Independence Day

    July 6, 2017 /

    A belated Happy Independence Day! I hope you all had a blessed Independence Day this year and were able to enjoy time spent with family and loved ones.  I was telling Scott recently that I think that this may just be my favorite holiday.  As a child I would have told you otherwise…I mean who doesn’t love Christmas, right?  But while I do love the other major holidays that we celebrate around here, our nation’s independence is just—special.
