RE: Homestead Design: What To Do When You're First On The Land, Observation, Patterns & "Getting the Feel"

in #ecotrain7 years ago

Nice article, thank you! I agree that slowing down, observing and listening make all the difference. I have learned this the hard way. Our first year on the homestead we broke our backs doing everything we could, what we though we needed to do. We were wrong about a lot of things. This place never stops teaching me and I am a very willing student these days.

Glad you're not breaking your back anymore, and you consider yourself willing student. I can totally relate thing to do it all only to realize that's a recipe for disaster. Can't tell you how many mistakes weve made, only that weve grown a lot from them. These days at Mountain Jewel we are more gracious with ourselves.
