Longer Days, Winter Fading…

Oftener than not about this time of the year things begin to really drag down on one's mind.  The cloud-filled days stack up, the ice is muddy, there's not enough time to make it home to work in a daylighted yard and a sense of urgency for spring causes one much anxiety.  The want of fresh cut grass lingering in the air, fresh picked strawberries tinting your hands a tad red, incredibly hoppy beer disappearing quickly from the bottle and the sun's light sticking around a bit longer with each passing day.   This year I'm trying to see the incredible parts of these last few weeks of hard winter and I was lucky enough to capture one yesterday morning with the camera.  Here's hoping the birds return soon and the cold finds it's way back North.

And it begins…

So, my wife and I have decided to start this new blog so that we can share information with others that we've learned and continue to find out about living a simpler life, homesteading, cooking, art and gardening.  We made the decision to head down this path a couple of years ago and we feel like we might have some things to share and we are hoping to find like-minded people that want to share in our experiences.  We hope to keep everything here up to date as best we can and hopefully there are some people out there that will find something enjoyable here.
