It was late the Friday before Thanksgiving; the sun was setting, the milking crew heading out the door. We had planned to practice the offerings we’d be bringing on Thursday, but oh the rush of Friday. Supper hadn’t exactly been decided on yet, our usual kefir smoothies were low on ingredients, and, of course, everyone…

By the time we moved off-grid in 2011, Elijah was five and was writing, doing some basic math, and learning to read. I remember being…
It seems like a good week for introductions, what with the solar oven finally getting its own announcement and all. And if that does, then surely this new living space should have its own post, right? The last few weeks have been a flurry of activity on what we are calling the new cabin. Walls…

I do love a cold day – the going "out in it" and the cozying back up. When those kind of days come along, when the wind tears through you and the cold sneaks in under the door, I try my very best to savor them. Because those days don’t come along very often here…

So beautiful!! Amazing that your young sons already know how to mix cement and “plant” fence posts! So much more useful than knowing how to play video games as most kids do. Bless you guys!!
Love the video! Thank you for sharing.
It may or may not be helpful, but every wooden fence post installed on our four acres was done a bit differently… The holes were dug then the post placed exactly as it was to stand. I held the post as my husband poured dry cement mix into the hole and tamped it down to pack it around the post. Moisture from the surrounding ground usually set the cement overnight. They are still tight and standing strong after 22 years.
