Good Morning, and what a great day this is going to be!  Not much will be done today because we're going to Gainesville for a day trip.  As Jim said, I LOVE to teach and, hopefully, will teach some of you something you didn't know how to do.  This year we hope to get our greenhouse built and start our aquaponics system, transplant some berry bushes we have rooted and make some wine from our blueberries and grapes.  I look forward to sharing our experiences with anyone who is interested in our homestead.

Times… They are a changing...

Wow, where does the time get to?  Trish and I have been talking about changing this blog's focus and scope to illustrate more about Florida Homesteading in current times.  I hope to turn this over to her with the purpose of adding weekly content aimed at the challenges and solutions of homesteaders.  We have recently discovered that many of the skills we have developed are not widely held by many people that are younger than us.  So part of the focus will be to teach, as well as pass on, the skills we have acquired that are moving us towards our goal of a more self sufficient lifestyle.  So with that said I am passing this part to Trish;   A really good teacher!
