We're not homesteders as such, but we do live a simple life that is in touch with the cycle of work and rest is evident throughout nature. Our approach to living, based largely on the reduction of wants and a mostly non-monetary return from our organic horticulture, bee keeping and other sorts of labor. Were living the good life along the Mississippi river valley in north eastern Iowa.

WHAT'S UP?
It's been two weeks sense the return of uncle yummy and things have been busy.
Several big dog walks/mushroom hunting outings. The dogs love the walks and so do we.
Many great garden fresh salads. This one has hard boiled eggs from the girls, greens from the garden, fried mushrooms and asparagus.
Soccer practice each night. With two games each week. The team is passing the ball well and looking great. Right now we're 6and4. Which puts us in 3rd place in the conference behind Dyserville, Beckman. But, we're leading the conference in total goals scored with 62 so far.
3 road game and 1 last home game before districts.
Family gathering at pizzeria uno's in Platteville when Beau and Dr. Becker were back in town.
20 hour trip to Milwaukee and back. To do some yard work at kendo's. With a return trip by way of the Flower Factory.
Walker recall election is in June.
We picked up a bunch of alpine plants for the roof of the south entry way.
Tonight was as busy as all the rest with Wood Duck watch out at the cabin. The 11 eggs she is sitting on were due to hatch on Sunday and as of six this evening no baby ducks.
Bob and Alana have the wood Duck house wired with a video camera and recorder so hopefully we'll be able to catch the eggs hatching out and the ducklings leaving the duck house.
And finely put a new batch of bees in the super. With my make shift bee veil from an old window screen.
Using the shake down method.
