Hello and welcome to a post about building our future garden! I’m going to take a little bit of a break from my recent run of posts regarding acorns (hey they only come every couple of years, so one has to work with the bounty when it’s given :D), but don’t worry I will return…

Let’s Have Fun With Acorns!
Hello and welcome to another blog post about oak trees and acorns! Not only did I learn this year that our oak trees drop acorns, but I was lucky enough to be up on the homestead when one of our oak trees decided to drop a large amount of acorns. I had intended to only…
Let’s (Attempt To) Grow A Tree Together! – Part II
So it turns out we do have oak trees on the homestead that produce acorns!! I happened to be up on the homestead when one of the trees was starting to drop acorns, so I decided to grab some for growing at home. While it is a little painful to give up on the acorns…
Let’s (Attempt To) Grow A Tree Together!
When out walking our dog (not on the homestead) this year I have noticed a large amount of acorns have dropped from the oak trees in our area. I decided to have some fun and try to grow an oak tree from seed. The main reason behind this is because we have about 3-5 mature…
How Do You Eat An Elephant?
One bite at a time. Hello and welcome to another blog post! Today I’ll be giving an update on two projects that are just getting under way. The phrase in the title is one that I like to remind myself of when embarking on any particularly large project. I find it rather easy to get…
Cabin Log Piles – Prep Work
Hello and welcome to another update! I know it has been a while, but the summer months are quite busy outside of homestead work. Plus, sometimes I am just lazy when it comes to writing on the blog 😀 As mentioned in my last post, I had a little preparation work to do before I…
To Do List For The Year (2023)
The grass is starting to grow, birds are appearing more frequently, and days now seem to have a reasonable amount of sunlight. Spring is here and so is that unbridled enthusiasm that can only come from being stuck indoors under piles and piles of snow for months! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love winter.…
Happy New Year!!
First, I would like to wish you and your families a very happy (and belated) New Years! Second, I would like to apologize to anyone that came to this site in the last couple of months looking for some new posts. I have been quite busy because…..life happened 😀 Some far more important things have…
Milestone (Flashback) Post – First Steps
We bought the property in March of 2018, but my first overnight trip up there wasn’t until May of 2018 with Archer. The plan was to go up Thursday morning, get in two full days of work, camp one night in a tent, and then head home Friday evening. With a head full of dreams,…
Log Inventory for the Guest Cabin – Updated 9Nov22
Today’s post will be quite short and we are trying something new. I want to keep you updated on the logs that I sort through on each trip, but I only get through a few each trip and it wouldn’t make for all that great of a blog post. Instead, I’m going to try and…
