Off the Beaten Path


Well, here we go.....

We've owned this particular 25 acres for six years now, and we've been "meaning to do something with it" for that long. And now that the kids are getting older, and AIG is bankrupt, and no one has ever really recovered from Katrina, and eggs are nearly two dollars a dozen, and milk is over three dollars a gallon, and you and I ain't getting any raises....... or, for that matter, getting any younger.....
It appears to be time.

Over the years, we have talked about lots of things we want to do with the place, but the plans never get put down anywhere easy to get at. Hopefully, this little blog will fix that.

So, these are the basic topics we have agreed to use as labels:
Food
Water
Power
Heat
Transportation
Shelter
Income
Gardening
Buildings
Animals
Sanitation
Recreation
Education
Health
Wildcrafting
Community

Are there any others you can think of right now that we may want to use?
