Homestead Blog Hop #49

 

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

There are several things that are a constant on every homestead no matter what size. One of these constants is a strong work ethic. Each and everyone of us strive to find a better way of doing all the things we have to get done. We don't necessarily  want the quickest way, but the best way or the way that fits us best. Not taking the easy way out and not buying into what society is selling has always been a cornerstone of all those who homestead. 

There are many that look at our way of life and think that it is bondage. We have critters to feed, plants to tend, rows to weed, and countless other duties some of which will undoubtedly have to be put off until tomorrow. There is a freedom of mind and of spirit that I find when I plant my garden or when I harvest an animal. I believe an organic based homestead is close to being a good steward of God's creation. 

I cannot wait to read your posts.

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.
