It's been a weird and exhausting several weeks. Almost as if I've been watching things from a detached perspective. I attribute this sense which I used to struggle to describe to the presemce of God leading me and carrying me through otherwise difficult things. My brain and body want to quit, but miraculously, I am … Continue reading Grief and Gospel Hope
Homesteader Guilt: Tilling My No-Till Garden
I caved. And here's my confession: I'm about to till my no-dig garden. Backstory: I wept the first time I watched the Back to Eden Film with Paul Gautschi. Wept. Because I was overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of his garden and the connectedness he had to God the Father through His creation. Beautiful. So … Continue reading Homesteader Guilt: Tilling My No-Till Garden
Flower Essence
I've been tinkering with herbs and flowers lately. Studying and learning the plants in my area, finding their uses, learning to identify them... It's been fun. But the main reason I've been deep into herbalism lately is that my daughter, since she was 2 years old, has said she wants to be a doctor. She … Continue reading Flower Essence

Homestead Update
This is a brief one because we're busy busy around here. We're focusing attention on setting up the market garden. We had some compost delivered to speed up our soil ammendment process and we're building up the rows. In between 18" rows, we will have 12" woodchipped paths which will hopefully aid us in cultivation … Continue reading Homestead Update
Communication Struggle and Fear
I'm dragging out my soap box, so, you've been warned. I've really struggled to effectively communicate with people for the duration of... Well, my whole life.

Even then- I struggle to hear … Continue reading Communication Struggle and Fear
