A Homestead Heart Podcast

It is about time that I will have to start my own podcast about homesteading. I am still not equiped to make this podcast but as soon as I have a good micraphone and equipment I will get it going. I am still here in Georgia and dreaming of a new homestead up in Wisconson. Today is cool weather but not cold. Joey and I made chocolate chip cookies and I have mixed up some bread dough to make some cinnimon rolls. Yesterday we moved some branches outside to burn but have not been able to start up the burning bin yet. Too windy. Since It has been a long time since I posted I thought I would drop a few lines. I am in the middle of an upper respatory infection, flu and sinus mess so not feeling too good. At least I have been able to be home and not working the night shift as I normally do. I can nap and rest but still get the meals somewhat done. Things like chillie and cornbread or beef stew. Just not too much as I am exhausted. When the funds come in for the podcast I will anounce it here and with other podcasters. Any input for the podcast will be welcome. You can email me at ahomesteadheart@gmail.com

I would like partipation from others also, to add to the content. Have a great day.

Rainy Day in Georgia

Today when I woke up you could tell when going outside the earth is soaked with rain. It had been a long rainy night that I have been sleeping threw. Up this morning to work on the Kitchen and to work on my cookbook. Today will be busy with our School hours and work out and around this home.
I have to keep reminding myself that a homestead can also be your mind set. I do have so much to be grateful for here but then I can always dream of a different place. We do have a milder winter here but then we miss out on the joys of Ice fishing ! Sledding and snowmobiling. Have a wonderful day! I am going to try.

I WANT TO HEAR A HOMESTEAD PODCAST

I am enjoying finding podcasts to listen to and have not yet found a homesteading podcast. I wish there was one that was both informative and good to listen to. If I only could make one myself but my dream of homesteading is a state of mind, even tho I am living on 3 acres in the middle of Georgia. Out of town and up off the highway. It is not my dream homestead. I am still dreaming and praying to get back to the basics and off the grid. I love my DSL but would have to go with Satilite or dial up if I move way off the grid as I would love to. Way up north is where I want to be. On the banks of Chub Creek. Or on Farm in Wisconsin. PODCASTS ahhh what a joy. you can find them when you download itunes from www.itunes.com

Solar Energy

I am starting some research on solar power. It upsets me that we have to disrupt living things to feed power to millions. I found an interesting video blog on what they call "Green energy". You can view a sample video at

I knew a few family's once who used Solar power. I am going to do some research and will post what I can find. I am still holding on to the dream of being able to live off the land. Now back to reality and House cleaning.

Summer Days

They came from the County and tried to fix the end of our drive way. We have a typical dirt road that is in the need of gravel. And a grading. The County came without our asking and came up from the highway about 20 feet. I am guessing on the distance as I have never measured this. Anyway we had rain. As we have been getting bits of the rain since the last hurricane came into the gulf. Now to get out of the drive your in a mud pile. All we now is a couple of dirt bikes and we would be having fun. There is always so much to do in any home and today is no exception. The boys are taking it easy and I have been working on the kitchen a little bit at a time but have been sidetracked by the computer.
I am still dreaming of a big Mid-western farm house with sweet corn from the garden covered with fresh home-made sweet butter from the fresh milk from my Dairy Cow. Have a wonderful summer day.

Goodmorning Good Day

It is my resolve today on July 9th, 2005 here in middle Georgia that I will not partake of sugar or flour for 6 weeks. Ugh. Can I do it? Will I fall down. I start with the wonderful cup of coffee. I did not put in the sugar and oh by the way I hate sweeteners unless it is honey. I recall a girl many years ago who went on some kind of food deterrence like this, long before the word 'Adkins" came out. I am so tired of being 45 and carrying around more weight then I have ever had in my whole life. I know that I am the one who can make this work. So here is my musings to myself.

''You can do it !''
