g At the moment that I type this, I am exhausted, my hands are scratched and covered in sticky cedar resin, and I think there’s a new hole in the sole of my boots. And I’ve never been happier. Working on the homestead is can be tiring, but it much more satisfying than anything I’ve

So, months ago, in this post, I wrote about stock-piling food during my harvest post. The essence of it was, besides harvesting from my garden (which was only producing a small amounts then), whenever I ran into a particularly good sale of canned goods I bought an outrageous amount with basically whatever money I had.

Today is the 4th of the lunar month, the day sacred to Hermes in the Athenian reckoning. As well as Aphrodite, Eros, and Herakles. I think it’s the busiest of the monthly days, but for now I’m going to focus on Hermes. I’m sharing a picture of the simple herm that I built on one

So, I have not posted for the GMC as much as I had hoped this month. Rest assured that I have not forgotten, I am continuing to research and work on my thoughts, and hopefully by the end of the month come up with a ritual or two as well. I have been working on

This video gave me chills, its so beautiful and inspiring. He’s in California, so he has a few plants growing I won’t have (banana trees, prickly pear cactus), but seeing what just four year does is amazing. Gods, being stuck in Michigan right now is KILLING ME. All I can do is wait for our

So, just before New Years, we made another trip to Rolla. This video was taken on December 28th. Luckily, a few days later the water had receded enough that we could get to our cabin to leave the truckload of stuff we had made the trip for in the first place. But the flooding did make it

I’m sitting in a McDonald’s in Illinois right now. I’m on the way back from my second trip to the Missouri homestead in the last 2 weeks. This will have to be my last one this month. In fact, we are so low on money, we really shouldn’t have done this second trip. It was a

12/6/15 the morning 5 acres. A little overgrown. But not too bad, nothing a few goats couldn’t handle. Even in December, when lots of plants are dead and dying, or dormant, its very beautiful. I can’t wait to see it at its peak in the summer when everything is lush and green and beautiful and
