There are things we'll compromise on but some things we won't. Either way, I just can't wait to see where we land. We plan on building an earth oven. I can almost smell all the bread & pizza dough we'll make that for. I can see cob structures on the land too. I just get so excited when I think of all the possibilities! We've talked about this journey for years & we've taken small steps toward that direction but come Spring, we'll jump in.
Our children are really looking forward to jumping in as well. This year was our first garden & each picked a veggie to care for ... from getting the garden started to sowing seed to harvesting to preparing/freezing/canning they stayed very excited & willing to help. They took their "jobs" very seriously. The looks on their faces as their veggie grew was such a blessing. They learned first hand that hard work pays off. There's not much (if anything) better than growing your own food!
