We started this blog as a journal about farming 40 acres in the 21st century. Lately, it hasn’t been so much about farming as about constructing the addition. The original cabin was built to house 2 adults, and perhaps a single grandchild might overnight on the couch. We now have 3 adults living here long-term, another adult living here for the time being, and now two more adults and the Grand Girl vIsiting for a week. The construction project allows us to pull this off. If a farmstead is quintessentially about nurturing and family, then we are still on track!

Oh, wait. No coffee until she’s twelve.
