Getting There

Someday I will live in an old farm house, with a wood cookstove in my kitchen, and hand-powered water pump in the yard. My herb garden will be just outside under the window. There will be chickens and ducks roaming the yard, and perhaps a goose or two. In the barn I'll have a couple sheep, a milk cow and several horses, maybe a few goats as well. My vegetable garden will be off to the side packed full of tasty produce. There will be a greenhouse nearby too. I'll have a small orchard, and grow mostly apples, maybe some cherries too. I'll have a slew of cats and a couple dogs too. someday.

I intend on someday having my own small family homestead, perhaps opening up my home to teach others self-sufficency. For now I will sastisfy myself with my small container gardens in the summertime, and planning and dreaming in the wintertime.

This is about following dreams and passions and getting there.

This is my homestead journey.
