I appreciate the guest post, Vito Rivers Well, we got a little surprise last month and now the secret is out. Our family of four (Rob and I plus the two furry rascals) is now going to be a family of five. Ya know, with another HUMAN in that equation. Yep, that’s right, we found out we’re expecting!

I’m growing enough crops to feed my own livestock, assuming that the weather cooperates I won’t have to buy too much winter feed. I’m thinking about putting in a windmill and some solar panels to try to generate some of my own [...]
