With the price of gasoline it is hardly worth the money to drive to go substitute teach. Keep us all posted on the goat adventure.

I have been able to cut right back on the money used to buy food, and we saved enough to buy our solar power further reducing costs. We grow our own meet too. I'd live to milk a goat but as I have become I'll, I can only just cope with what I have on my plate right now. As I type my beets are cooking getting ready to be canned so we can enjoy them throughout the coming winter. It's a hard life in many ways. It the rewards are many, not just the monetary ones.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367100990792829157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743489061168063955.post-69134795002970209102012-01-03T15:17:58.816-05:002012-01-03T15:17:58.816-05:00Congrats on the staying at home thing.

How exciting! <br />Don't feel bad about not having a name for your farm yet, one will come and it will fit perfect for you. It took us a few years (once we decided to have a farm) to come up with the best name, and one we could agree on... even changed it a few times! Now we have one that we love, but really it's the farming itself we love. <br />Can't wait to hear more about the cooking and fun farm adventures you'll have. And see pictures of your new babies!SweetLand Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17952332452950179891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743489061168063955.post-48326875355825228182012-01-03T14:22:42.180-05:002012-01-03T14:22:42.180-05:00What great goals, and congrats on giving up the &q...What great goals, and congrats on giving up the "real" job for a REAL job!<br /><br />I like the goal for 12-12 date. Fitting, I think.<br /><br />I've also been trying to work on more canning stuff. I love our freezers, but if the electricity went out for more than a few weeks, we'd be in a heap of trouble with the three freezers full of food.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743489061168063955.post-46828100895260714612012-01-03T14:14:02.573-05:002012-01-03T14:14:02.573-05:00Stevie, now that is funny!
