Homestead Buzz

If you're anything like us, you're a day late and a dollar short when it comes to keeping up with the Jones'. Not that the Jones' are doing much city homesteading these days.

Or are they....

Though we've not found any hard evidence that suggests an upswing in the citified countryside style of living, there does seem to be at least a modest interest in self sustainability. We guess that can be attributed to the lousy economy.

Sure would be nice to see more crazy people like us around.

Hope all is well!

A good friend of mine gave me several issues of Backwoods Home magazine a few weeks ago and I've never been the same since.
