Well, I can tell we're well on our way through winter.... I'm starting to look up agrarian things online. I've already started a seed catalogue list (even though I probably won't order them) and I've been dreaming about the size and shape of my garden for a while now.
So today, I've been looking for a really good inspiring blog about gardening, goats, chickens and the rest. My goodness is there ever a lot out there. There are some pretty crazy hard core agrarians out there too. I found this one blog with a list of other blogs and they are all hard core Christian agrarians. For some reason, it all really does not sit with me. The ladies are all talking about how they strive to be the woman of Proverbs 31 and the men all talk about taking their boys out and teaching them how to be men... good providing, shooting and butchering type men! I can't really put my finger on what bothers me. I like providing and shooting men. I love Proverbs 31.
I've been reading this one blog (it has a soundtrack!! I had to pause my concert of Daniel Lanois to read it) is about a family who moves out to Texas where they will be living off the grid. It's so bizarre to read and hard to stop reading. She looks like a mennonite with her hair pulled back under a hankerchief and always wearing an apron. There's lots of butchering and canning pictures yet the blog posts are daily. It's very strange and interesting to know that this is happening right now... somewhere in Texas. Here's a clip from one post of her describing why her husband is doing this: " ... the Lord has commanded him to lead his family out of this "ungodly world society" and separate. He is being obedient to the Lord and seeking His will in guiding this family and in his duties as a husband." .... I just don't know what to think.

No Tena, she said she likes providing AND shooting men. Tee hee
I suppose there will always be wierd people around. You simply need to glean what you can and then use whatever feels good to you. Keep dreaming!
I love it. Shooting men - there was my laugh and smile for the morning. ahh although some times i feel like shooting men.
Yup nicole it does sound like there are some weird people out there but who am i to judge they probally thought noah was weird too. My thought is be in the world but not of the world.
Anyways i love how you are dreaming and thinking of gardening even though you don't have any real place to garden i love your enthusiasm. Hey if you need somewhere to garden and keep chicken you can always use my house. Anyways hope you have a great day!
the first thing i always think when someone thinks they are godly in the midst of a perverse generation is 'crazy.'
may i never be so convinced that i am that pure.
Check out 'Garden Girl' on YouTube. You'll love the chicken tractor idea. It gets me all excited.
OK so maybe it's been a long cold winter.
Shooting men Hmmph, some people have way tomuch estrogen on the go here!
