Staying Outside Until Dark Is Rewarding
I bought these 2.8 acres for $5k. Can't complain about the sunsets. These are 4 o'clocks after 8pm. I routinely get rewarded when I stay outside until the sun goes down.

I've Got Luffa Gourds Growing!
Before I started my quest to start a homestead, I had heard of luffa sponges but didn't know they came from these dried out gourds. A YouTube friend sent some seeds he saved from his luffa gourds and now

My First Baby Chicks On The Homestead
My neighbor had a hen that went broody (when a hen wants to hatch eggs) and he offered to put some of my eggs under her. 21 days later I've got 8 baby chicks and he gave me the hen also. They are in a

I grew these flowers. The cat showed up on his own.
Maybe someone would have bought these for $4 at our garage sale if I took Steem as payment. Or maybe not. No matter, still looks good to me. As an introvert I must say a garage sale takes as much out of

I Just Don't Have Enough Time
Since I got to my homestead property last October, I just haven't had the time for Steemit. I am spread way too thin and fussing with all the bugs on here trying to write a blog post wasn't a pleasant

I Lost My Chainsaw Virginity Today
It was quick and easy, with no scratches. Yes, I know, its' been a couple months. I'm kinda busy, but there's more to it than that, which I'll explain here at a later date. I have been posting very regular

DUDE! Why'd You Paint Your Floor Orange?
$9/gallon bargain bin paint, that's why I painted my floor orange. The floor is made of particle board and it was degrading into dust. By painting the floor, the primer and paint acts as an adhesive and

The Wild Chickens of Bobblehead Homestead
These four hens have been on their own since at least the end of July when the previous owner left. I don't think he did much to take care of them before then either as there is no coop of any kind on

I Think I Just Got Adopted By This Stray Cat
My first day at the homestead was eventful, but I didn't expect this. A limping, skinny cat meowed at me all day and wouldn't let me leave it's sights. I tried to approach it a couple times to see why

Scenes From The Road Between Illinois And Arkansas
With a travel day and a work day out of the way, I've got some catching up to do. I'm a horrible photographer, especially when I'm driving and hoping I aimed the camera good enough, but I'm gonna share

So that's where I've been and this is where I'm at
The old mattress is gone. I dropped it off at the recycling center today. Tomorrow or Tuesday I should find out if my buyer here in Illinois is a done deal. Then I should make it to Arkansas by Friday.
