It is nice to see the top without the children detritus that seems to be constantly there.....your homestead is awesome, and you have already made good on so much of your plans, which is impressive considering you have a small child and both have jobs...without daycare.gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003845060111282460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-88014607971042525832012-10-03T20:24:54.543-04:002012-10-03T20:24:54.543-04:00my 'mad gardening skills'.....

I don't suppose we'll ever really reach the end of our "list" because every time something gets crossed off, we add something else! I bet you guys are in the same boat, huh? one of the next things on my list is to do some home-brewing. inspired partly by you (or, Byron, I guess ;)<br /><br />xoamandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-39137006916969677562012-10-02T22:04:42.372-04:002012-10-02T22:04:42.372-04:00OMG...you guys are crazy productive. your garden p...OMG...you guys are crazy productive. your garden posts always leave me feeling envious and a bit shameful about what we do with the same amount of land (not much as of yet)...but then i don't dwell in those places for too long, because you are so nice about not being cocky about your mad gardening skills. <br /><br />we have plans. plans to cut down invasive trees and replace with apple and natives. a beehive maybe. a brick oven one day, a rabbit hutch, finish painting our reclaimed picket fence, a lot more lavender, plant more native perennials around the perimeter of our house. <br /><br />your homestead is inspiring and i really do love reading about it. nicholehttp://www.livefree.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
