Very interesting.<br /><br />If you want to read good books about how things were done, read the Foxfire Books. Then, you might already know about them.<br /><br />Keep up your good work.<br />sfgsmall farm girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485314092236803411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246519671003642380.post-9518395505699449422010-01-10T10:55:04.246-05:002010-01-10T10:55:04.246-05:00I agree with your observations about the commercia...I agree with your observations about the commercialized machine we live in, however, I see a growing mindset of poeple who are beginning to see the value in getting back to basics. Backyard homesteading is a growing movement, maybe it's just a trend due to the economy but it is this same type of movement in the 70s that left an indelible mark on me and shaped me into the person I am today. I still have stacks of the original Mother Earth News Magazine that my father subscribed to when it first hit newstands. I read those magazines in the suburbs of Los Angelos Ca. from cover to cover from the time I was 10 years old. Our children and grandchildren will be exposed to backyard gardens, small family farms and the concept of making due, reusing,recycling and making things from scratch. I guess am terminally optimistic but I see hope for the future as my own grown children and grandchildren carry forward the things that I have taught them. Hope winter is treading gently in your part of the country.

They have no complaints they love working on the farm. People tell us we make them work to hard and I tell them my kids will not be lazy. My kids love to tell people we have all our own meat, eggs, and milk it makes them proud because they are helping produce it. I would have our life no other way. We are not rich by no means but we have what we need and the Lord takes care of us. Keep on writing you are doing a great job Rebekah.goatmilkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071603295454815448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246519671003642380.post-40872850216208076012010-01-10T10:09:01.858-05:002010-01-10T10:09:01.858-05:00So much truth to your post.
