Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I'm fascinated by the concept Alderman is relaying. I love the pics and hope there are more.
But DW and I proved to ourselves when we were in our mid 20s that we aren't the homesteading types. Our garden died. All our fish in the pond died (due to one bad freeze blocking sunlight - maybe we could have saved them by scooping a quarter acre of 5" of snow - assuming it didn't blow back. But we didn't know that.) I nearly killed myself with a chain saw and misjudging a tree fall.
Oh, and DW doesn't like snakes.
So now in our 70s, I guess homesteading has passed us by. We will live vicariously through Alderman's on-going reports.
