Posted by Since we are building a homestead, one might think we are homebodies in a way. I guess that could be true, since in a perfect world we could focus solely on creating this little mini-farm oasis that we dream about and work toward.

Posted by Thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings. I am just a Southern country girl wanting to build a homestead with her husband and two children, and I claim nothing more than that.
