Halfway There! (Austin)

As y'all know, I've been working on the rabbit tractor with my free time lately. I just started a new part-time job that has me currently training at full-time hours so my free time to work on the tractor has been pretty minimal this week. But I'm here with a video update on the progress so you can see how it's coming along! I apologize for the mediocre camera-work and my tendency to ramble, but please try to see past it. Here is the Youtube link for your update, stay tuned as the tractor gets finished and the garden gets started in the next few weeks!

Bring the Spring! (Austin)

I really like winter. A beautiful snow fall, great time with family for Christmas, snuggling up next to a fire, and now having gotten engaged to a wonderful lady in the midst of falling snow really endears the season to my heart :)
But I am so glad this winter is finally leaving. I've developed quite a cabin fever since I'm off school this semester and it's been far too cold to enjoy normal winter activities at length. So I had lots of time to begin planning the homestead's agenda for Spring, and I am very excited that now is the time to begin preparing for the pending projects.

Partaking in Seedy Behavior (Lauren)

It's finally warming up here in Iowa! The past week has been above zero and a couple of days have gotten above freezing. You know what that means! SPRING IS COMING! That means Austin and I looked through the Seed Savers' catalog and chose some plants that we wanted to try this season.
