A very interesting documentary. It's a bit long and gets monotonous, but a lot of good ideas/info for living off the grid or being self sufficient.

Check out this video, made by my husband, to give an idea of what it is we are trying to accomplish.

Vacation Day 1!

My husband is on vacation!  :)  Nothing I love more than him being home.  :)  I am serious, there is no sarcasm intended.   I really really love my husband being home.  And while I do want him to relax this week, I still have lots of stuff for him to do around the house.

We are still not done moving from the old house, so there is that.  A family member is giving us the border from their old garden, which is great.  It's landscape timbers, stacked 3 high.  It's going to go towards the creation of a couple of raised beds, and I really need to get it in gear to get my gardens going.  The border of their old garden was about 25 x 25 or so.  I think I can make at least two good sized raised beds out of it.  Now just to convince my darlingest husband, whom I love so very much, to go over there and get them.  :)  SWEEETHEART!!!!!  ;)

Today we are going down to Monticello to pick up a few goats.  I am a little excited about them.  :)  They are mini nubians and are supposed to be really good milkers.  :)

So that's it for now.....stay tuned!

New beginnings

So, it's been a while since I blogged. I guess I just stay so busy I never get a chance to. Or I forget. But I digress......

So we have moved to a new house. Well, it's really and OLD house, but it's new for us. It's an old (100 years +) farm house and it's more in the country. So quiet and peaceful. A little more property than we had too. Good neighbors.

We are getting ready to do our spring gardens. Yes, that is plural....we will be doing more than one garden space. The open garden will be a 3 sisters set up. If you are not familiar with 3 sisters, please take a moment and google it. It is an indian legend and way of complimentary planting. The 3 sisters are corn, beans and squash. We will be doing a sweet corn, some kind of pole bean and maybe a small pumpkin, cucumbers and zucchini.

Our other spaces will be raised beds. Those will contain tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, some greans/lettuces, more beans, and a variety of herbs and other veggies.

We are getting lots of eggs and the animals seem to be doing great with the move. All of the chickens are in one pen right now, but we plan to eventually split them off into their individual pens. We are also getting a couple of sheep soon and we are looking forward to learning how to care for them and what we can do with the wool. We also plan on learning what to do to properly slaughter them, in accordance with biblical requirements.

Becoming more self sufficient and less reliant on grocery stores and processed foods is our goal. Teaching others how to do this is also a goal.

G-d bless you and thank you for reading.
