Thanks for this wonderful post (I had been hoping to hear more news from your adventure). I think the pandemic was a wake-up call for many with regard to accessing food, growing a garden, and becoming more self-sustainable. We built a chicken coop in our edge-of-city backyard last year (we are permitted to have four) and it also draws neighbours every day (especially little ones), who we invite into the yard to pet the chickens. For our homeschool co-op this fall I am planning sessions on canning, cooking, wood working, soap making, and other self-sustaining skills.
Thanks so much again and looking forward to your next post!
I agree, Ruth. so many things were cast into the light through these last years. It’s been one of the blessing I think, seeing more clearly. Love the co-op lesson ideas! I have come to absolutely adore our homeschool co-op where we now are. What an incredible blessing these families are in our life!
Wow. I just love your writing Andrea. What wonderful memories you made with your camping trip. Children love to hear stories about the "old" days. You hadn't written a post in a while and I was concerned that the heating issues were cooling off your enthusiasm. Your writing just pulls me into the scene that you have painted with words, please continue.
I appreciate your own word play, Jayne! No we settled our heating issues by the New Year and spent quite a cozy winter. Thank you for your kind words 💜
Very timely. The local farmer’s market opens this weekend.
