I homestead because I want the satisfaction of a job well done, of escaping the superficial glitz of our current consumer society, and try to leave something lasting for my girls. I homestead because it's what America is all about. Americans are the ones who left everything behind and carved out a new life for themselves, on their terms. I homestead because it means that I get the opportunity to live my life and make it what I can, instead of having it dictated to me by people who don't even know my name. Homesteading means to me that my girls will grow up knowing the important things of life, that we won't be dependent on others to feed and clothe us, that what we eat will be healthful and what we wear will be practical. And when it is all over and done, I hope that I will have lived deliberately, discovered the essential facts of life, learned what life had to teach me, and I will know that I lived (Thoreau).Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722267586647759484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-36098612967069386612007-07-28T23:26:00.000-05:002007-07-28T23:26:00.000-05:00So, Lady--how you holding up?
