Homestead Circle

Welcome to our internet homestead. If you've got the itch to get off the grid, grow your own food, fix things with your own hands, maybe live a life a little less tangled in wires and nonsense, you've found your tribe. We swap skills, share hard-won lessons, and help each other live a little freer, a little closer to the land. Keep it respectful, keep it clean. This is a family-friendly porch.

(CSB) 28 When he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples 30 and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a colt...See more

Good Friday morning y’all!☀️ There’s a little nip in the air this morning at 61°. I almost missed the sunrise. Birds are happily singing. The pulmonologist finally got my referral from VA community care yesterday. I had to call them to refax it. The doctor should be calling me...See more

" If Big Ag thinks it can engender trust by promoting a mechanical inanimate view toward life, it's mistaken. Life is not inanimate piles of protoplasmic structure to be manipulated however cleverly and obscenely hubris can imagine. But as much as I appreciate our farm's pastured livestock, I want to focus on something different: the ability of a group to determine its own governance.

28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the whole earth. He never becomes faint or weary; there is no limit to his understanding. 29 He gives strength to the faint and strengthens the powerless. 30 Youths may become faint and weary, and young men stumble and fall, 31 but those who trust in the LORD will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint. Isa 40:28-31 CSB

Hey y'all, it's been awhile. Days are getting shorter, nights are getting colder. I hope everybody is getting prepared for winter. I've not started on firewood yet, I've been waiting on a part for my mower. Got it today, so grass gets one more cut, then it's firewood, lol. The Mrs went to a pulmonologist today, going to have tests done to see if they can help with her asthma. She has recovered from the surgery now, and wants to get more active. We're thinking about moving this spring, just not sure where...😂
