Why is it that when some one lives differently than the crowd, they are automatically wrong? The only people that have an issue with living off grid are those NOT living off grid LOL Ok ... so it's a lot of work. If you don't want to do the work, then don't live off grid LOL but who are you to tell any one they can't???
That being said, our family is loving life! We are gathering soda bottles to construct a greenhouse out of recycled items. We'll try to be creative and design a picture with the different colored bottles. How kool would that be?!
Building is stalled still ... but there are other things we can do ... and we are!
I decided to post a song I've come to like. It speaks my mind as far as the first part of this post. We may not chew or smoke or eat fried foods ... but leave us alone. If you don't like the way we live, so be it .. we're not askin you to live it :)

Way Out Here by Josh Thompson
Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun
And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son
Our necks are burnt, our roads are dirt and our trucks ain't clean
The dogs run lose, we smoke, we chew and fry everything
Out here, way out here
(Chorus)
We won't take a dime if we ain't earned it
When it comes to weight brother we pull our own
If it's our backwoods way of livin' you're concerned with
You can leave us alone
We're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere
Way out here
We got a fightin' side a mile wide but we pray for peace
'Cause it's mostly us that end up servin' overseas
If it was up to me I'd love to see this country run
Like it used to be, oughta be, just like it's done
Out here, way out here
(Chorus)
We won't take a dime if we ain't earned it
When it comes to weight brother we pull our own
If it's our backwoods way of livin' you're concerned with
You can leave us alone
We're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere
Way out here
We won't take a dime if we ain't earned it
When it comes to weight brother we pull our own
If it's our backwoods way of livin' you're concerned with
You can leave us alone
We're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere
Way out here, way out here
Our houses are protected by the good Lord and a gun
And you might meet 'em both if you show up here not welcome son
Amen!
ReplyDeleteDon't knock it till you've tried it and if you aren't willing to try it, then who are you to talk it down or berate someone who is?
I think that it is so cool what you guys are doing!
I think that the greenhouse sounds fun, too. Best wishes with it!
