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.

Out With The Old In With The New
Well it's time for an upgrade. I sold my 71 with the great interior and now I've got "Tsunami" a 76 with all kinds of great up grades.
Howard got the job of driving the 71 to it's new home north of town. But, I'm sure I will be seeing it out and about in Jackson Co.
Here's something new...
Susie and I have been milking goats for our friends from down the road, Kyle and Alishia. So, they can get away for the weekend.
Susie took right to it.
Each girl was different and had her own personality.
Good stream of fresh goat milk.
You've got to do something with all that milk.
Susie made awesome hot lattes and stretching the mozzarella curds.
Alisha made some great hunami cheese too
Nothing could be betta than Susie's Fetta.
Cheese for friends.
But not this guy. A young skink. Five-lined skinks also exhibit antipredation behavior. In evasion of various predators including snakes, crows, hawks, shrews, moles, opossums, skunks, raccoons, and domestic cats, skinks may disconnect their entire tail or a small segment. Skinks run to shelter to escape their distracted predators as the disconnected tail continues to twitch. Skinks may also utilize biting as a defensive strategy
Or this little black rat snake. They are skillful climbers. They will climb high into trees to capture prey or lie and wait in a tree cavity for an unsuspecting bird.
I myself prefer a cool Crank Yanker
