I want to homestead so badly!!! Imagine waking up early on the farm, starting off in no particular rush, take some time to meditate, have a warm tea in front of the fireplace with the dogs and cats then head out into the cold crisp morning to do the animal chores…..aahhhh bliss! The plush winter hair of the horses bristling under my fingertips, seeing their breath in the cold morning air which they search my pockets for treats. The sounds of the water rushing into the large tubs, the ice cracking in protest as the warm water breaks it. The sounds of my feet crunching in fresh snow being the only noise cause ever then birds aren’t awake yet.
MAN! iF i NEVER HAD TO LEAVE THE FARM AGAIN IT WOULD BE TOO SOON! lol
So close yet so far away to have this come to fruition. As it stands I am technically already homesteading, I have my animals, we harveest some of our own meat, we have chickens for eggs, etc.. but to do it full time where everything can come from my farm, my efforts, my hands would be sublime. But all that takes time and money.. two things I don’t have. lol But baby steps right? I look back a few years and know I have made milestones really, I am so much closer than years past. I just have to keep working at all the little goals and do as much as I can. It’s not far off from realizing my goal!
Here is a website of a couple that has been homesteading for many years and I quite admire them!
