I, too, would love to be a "homesteader" but I know it will never happen. We are in the ministry so our lives are not our own. It takes many years to build up a homestead and in the ministry you never know where you will be or how long you will be there. I hate where we live right now. Not the area, just the location. I love the area. We are in extreme eastern Ky.in the Appalachian mountains. But we live in town and the corner we live on is so noisy it gives me migraines. I have one right now so this post will not be long. I would love to live on top of a mountain with no noises other than the wind in the trees and the birds singing. I would like to have enough room for a garden, a small orchard, a horse, some rabbits and chickens. I would love to have a spring on my property. I would rarely leave the peaceful atmosphere.
I try to live as kindly with the world around me as possible. I recycle and grow my own vegetables. I do as much as I can with my very limited space. Also, my husband does not share this mindset so I am on my own in that area. I do love to read about homesteading and dream my dreams. Continue to live your dreams, Peggie and take no heed to what others may think. And Tucker, never give up hope. Through God all things are possible.

This is a picture of my hay bale garden. It has not been warm enough for any growth yet so it all looks puny.
