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.

First Batch of Morels
Beefsteak False Morel (Gyromitra fastigiata) close but not quite what I'm looking for.
This doe has been picked over pretty well. No rack. Not what I'm looking for.
This south eastern exposed hillside looks a little more promising.
OK, that's it. After two unsuccessful outings I was starting to question my vision. The kids at school have been finding a few morels here and there.
Now that's more like it. One hour of hoofing it up and down the hills and this is the reward.
Back home and with my find and then a tour around the yard. The fruit trees are coming into full bloom and the honey bees are very active. The grass is growing and Susie has been busy with yard work.
In for the evening and time to fry up a batch.
