Independence
Happy 4th of July
So I'm going to spend the day working on the urban homestead. I've got weeds to pull, compost to work in, and seeds to plant. I'm going to feed my chickens, harvest some eggs, and clean the coop. I'll be tired and sweaty by the end of the day, but it will feel good. It will feel good to know that I'm that much closer to knowing where my food comes from and what's in it, and that my little steps help make a difference not just for me and my family, but .for generations to come.
What are your plans for the 4th?

Hi! I found you from Jenna's Cold Antler Farm roll call post :) I'm a homesteader-wanna be in Central FL.
As for your post on independence. We marked out weekened with a trip out to our land we plan to build a sustainable farm on yesterday. We got some building things move up and found a guy with a bush hog to mow it, hopefully within the next few weeks. Today, we spend building rabbit hutches in the rain!
That's great, Crystal. Wonderful to meet you and I'm glad you found the blog.
Your property sounds wonderful. And so do your rabbit hutches.
Ara,
Hope you got all the garden chores done before the rain deluge hit. I was able to plant out one of my Neem tree seedlings just as the storm hit here. At least it will get watered in well. Small steps.
Sanddune,
Are you kidding. I got as far as feeding the chickens, big and little, gathering our 4 eggs for the day, doing some weeding and waiting for my husband to come home for lunch with more soil. Realizing he was running late, I went out to lunch with my dad and the deluge hit on the way back from dropping him off. The soil is here now, of course, with me not wanting to go out in the rain and plant. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
Happy Fourth of July. We do not have much planned here in South Florida. Fireworks are cancelled because of the rain deluge. It is stormin right now in fact.
The Fourth when if falls on a weekend is normally not a work holiday but this year we are closing up the office and gave all the guys Monday off. YIPEEEE.
I will be researching new recipes for Low Fat, Low Cholesterol and Low Sugar for the new health road we are traveling. You can check out the new recipe I just made on my blog, it is totally delish.
It will be a rewarding feeling to be able to grow most of your own food...not to mention healthier. Kudos to you for your persistence.
Sounds like a great thing to do. These days i am inmspired more and more to do more in the garden so that by spring I can be preparing for a big season!!
