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.

Hey y'all, it's been awhile. Days are getting shorter, nights are getting colder. I hope everybody is getting prepared for winter.

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.

" If Big Ag thinks it can engender trust by promoting a mechanical inanimate view toward life, it's mistaken.

Great fabulous Friday y’all!☀️ It’s a very nice 67° out this morning. Another sunny day with highs in the upper 80’s. No breeze to speak of. I wish I could open my windows. I’m missing too many screens, & the screens I do have the cats can push out. I was supposed to have a...See more
