Happy Mother's Day

To RE, GRY, and KG, celebrating their first Mother's Day, and to my mom and grandma who already have some under their belt.

Reason 541 to Consider Homesteading as a Second Profession

I've been reading a lot about homesteading these past couple of weeks, thinking about keeping chickens for eggs and raising bees for honey. Right now, the container garden is already producing green tomatoes, tiny jalapenos, and squash blossoms. If I was willing to put in the time and effort (and land), I could grow my own food on a quarter-acre of land.

Watching the coming global currency crisis roll through Europe makes me think this may be a good skill to have in the near future...
