Homestead Blog Hop #42

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

My wife, our youngest daughter, and I managed to steal some time away for some rest and relaxation this past weekend. That doesn't happen nearly often enough. I guess we are fairly predictable because we spent that time at one of our favorite Alabama State Parks. We spent time on the beach area and even did some hiking. I recorded 5 videos while we were there (I just can't really get away, but at least that is something I enjoy. 

For me being able to spend time in nature is the best way to relax. Another way to relax is to read great posts and hopefully learn something new. Kick back and enjoy. Be sure and let me know which are your favorites.

  Now on to the hop... Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to's, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
