Striving for self-sufficiency in a modern world, we're a homeschooling family of 3 with a 13yo still crazy about ships of the air and sea, a mad-for-gardening dad who can't keep up with all his seedlings and me, a mom who would love to have more time to indulge in spinning, knitting, weaving, sewing or reading. We're creating our version of the good life in the Shenandoah Valley.
Snowball, the white silkie in the backyard, went broody this week. DH slipped a few fertile eggs taken from the electric netting flock under her this morning so we may have chicks by the end of the month.
