Blogging & More

I haven't done much at all on this blog since starting it. That's because I haven't done much homesteading at all since I started it. We currently live right next to the downtown area in the town where we live. We have about 3/4 of an acre of land most of which is so steep and shaded the only thing that grows there is weeds. I have had a small raised bed on the side of the house that we've had some success with this year. So basically I've not had much of anything to say related to "homesteading". Hopefully that is about to change. We're in the process of buying just under 5 acres of land out in a rural area on which we will build our homestead.

I've spoke with another homesteading blogger today about the apparent drop in the number of people maintaining blogs that relate to this topic over the past year or so. It used to seem that there were several out there, now most of the links are dead and send you to "squatter" pages. This is disturbing and I hope that it just means that these people have moved and I've not gotten their updated links or that these people are just not blogging about the rural life and not that they've stopped living the homesteading lifestyle. On that note, I'm going to try to update this blog more often as we move forward with our little plot of land in the country.
