We've been slack , but will be busy this Fall doing the same.<br />Love seeing the pic of the burrow , looks peaceful.<br />Thanks for posting the goat feed mixture you use , Dh and I mixed up a batch a few weeks ago. At first the goats didn't care for the oats , they tried to eat around them (LOL), but now they're enjoying the mixture.<br /><br />~ Happy Herbal Blessings ~JoyceAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421027375720692604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512245017832132550.post-47271115610033052802010-06-12T19:11:39.275-05:002010-06-12T19:11:39.275-05:00I never expected the house to hold the heat as wel...I never expected the house to hold the heat as well, or for as long, as it did so I kept the fire going all the time it was cold out that first year.

Did you build the hill around the house? Or insulate the house? Or, start wearing coats in the house?<br />The house on Our Farm has big windows & the cold comes in. We have a wood stove & propane. But, we try not to use the propane. I solve the issue by going to California, but I'm hoping for a time that I won't have to do that. I want to stay on the farm; but I do like having options to leave. :)Evelynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512245017832132550.post-78923152522567346622010-06-08T08:24:25.161-05:002010-06-08T08:24:25.161-05:00I forgot to add that you do more on your 1/4 acres...I forgot to add that you do more on your 1/4 acres then most do on much land. I see it here, people with land and they don't even put out gardens. Fast food is their way. Such a waste<br /><br />tc lindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474625122023103412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512245017832132550.post-68462366130117606802010-06-08T06:25:20.615-05:002010-06-08T06:25:20.615-05:00Thats the main thing that you love it even if not ...Thats the main thing that you love it even if not ideal. I know what you mean about not being seen or see neighbors. We had that over at our other homestead. We had 20 acres but could see neighbors across the road, here its only eight acres and can only see trees, there is a road but can't see no houses only cows in the pasture and only one light far off when theres no leaves on the trees. The trailer is not ideal but we still love it. <br /><br />We all work to make things better. Your in a location that opportunities can come along anytime for more land. <br /><br />Do you have bear coming up for a visit? I'm so on the outlook for bear here, would love to see one, been confronted by cougar a couple of times, I froze like a popcycle :/<br /><br />Enjoying your blog papesLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474625122023103412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512245017832132550.post-52303145424707330612010-06-07T20:58:57.483-05:002010-06-07T20:58:57.483-05:00It's not ideal for 3 reasons only ...
It'...It's not ideal for 3 reasons only ... <br /><br />It's not our and now looks like it will never be.<br /><br />I can see our neighbors, they're good people but I don't want to see or be seen.<br /><br />And finally, my ideal place would have a little more land. We only have about 1/4 of an acre.<br /><br /><br />Even so, I do love it, the tiny house and stove most of all :)Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317638499215072455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512245017832132550.post-13599527396507363262010-06-07T19:17:00.257-05:002010-06-07T19:17:00.257-05:00I love a good wood pile story w/pic's anytime ...I love a good wood pile story w/pic's anytime of the year. We been working on ours cleaning up big woodpiles and stacking it up.<br /><br />I love your earthberm, why is it not your ideal spot? Just being nosey, Your in my favorite places in the world. <br /><br />We traded homes w/ dd a couple of months ago. We built a 4000 sq ft earthhome and burned wood, boy did we burn wood to heat but also had propane. <br /><br />DD and her family lived in this trailer in the woods and we traded. We now live in an old vintage trailer w/ woodstove that will run you out. I'm lookin forward to a snowy winter. <br /><br />We really scaled down and lovin it. The trend is toward small homes. Perfect for us empty nesters. We do plan on building a small cabin in a couple of yrs. <br /><br />My work brings me into clients homes that are huge , major huge but when it gets right down to it, all one needs is a place to be warm, sleep and cook food. Ok a bathroom in the house is nice to have too. You really don't need much room to have the good life. <br /><br />I too think that one of us, dh and I when one will be left alone on down the road. I think if its me (hubby can fend for himself) I want to be able to do things myself here in our woods. I keep thinkin if Tasha Tudor can do it so can I. <br /><br />You got a good son and you'll miss him much. Hope time goes slow for ya before he takes out on his own path. <br /><br />Keep the wood stack growing<br />lindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474625122023103412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512245017832132550.post-58204543413216071872010-06-07T18:54:13.721-05:002010-06-07T18:54:13.721-05:00Very, very, interesting post!

She lived in the Ocala National Forest in Florida. Winter's then were at the low thirty degrees. Even then it was not for many days.<br /><br />I like your little home and way of living.<br /><br />Happy Day.the wild magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355836751549469688noreply@blogger.com
