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.

Happy New Years 2015 !
Great Start to the New Year, with my best friend! We were locked out of our ice scating adventure so, recalculate and hike.
We ventured North of town to the Spruce Creek and Harbor to check out the ice conditions.
The ice in the harbor was already about 6" deep.
We hiked along the river bank in the campground with Chestnut Mountain's ski resort in the back ground, just across the river.
Susie didn't have as much confidence in the ice as I did but bridge seemed like a sure bet.
Beautiful.
The temp. is in the mid 20's and with clear skies you couldn't ask for a better day to get out and enjoy our little community which we've come to love and appreciate more and more each day.
After our hike we stopped by the Mill for the first half of the No. 17 Wisconsin Badgers (10-3, 7-1 Big Ten) and No. 19 Auburn Tigers (8-4, 4-4 SEC) in search of redemption when they meet in the Outback Bowl.....Update Badgers win in OT 34 -31!
Here's to our best year yet!
