Daydreaming Homesteading
| February 15, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Uncategorized |
I found this post in my drafts. Apparently, I never posted it. It’s 5 months later now, and I’m well settled into my new home at The Wallow. What has happened and what has yet to come? Here’s the draft I wrote back in August:
“I won’t be moving to my new house in Tennessee until October. So much waiting! I’m reading up on bees and pigs in the meantime, as well as prepping for Burning Man and Alchemy, which happen between now and then. There’s lots to do, but I’m spending a lot of time daydreaming away, too.” Keep Reading
Rewind – You’ve Finally Arrived
| February 11, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Think About It |
I heard a commercial on the radio the other day for a car dealership. Usually, I don’t listen to commercials. I change the station as soon as they start. This one caught my mind wandering though, and managed to sneak in a line. Here’s what I heard the moments before I got to the dial: “We have every car, from entry level to the car that says ‘You’ve arrived!’” Keep Reading
Weeds to Pasture
| November 11, 2009 | Posted by Issa under Animals, Nature |
The Wallow has lots of distinct parts to it. There’s the house, of course. There’s the two-story barn, which now contains Joshua’s workshop. There’s the hill, which is behind the house. There’s the forest-ish area on the way to the creek, where the bee hives are. There’s the front yard, which will be the garden area come spring. There’s The Bowl, an area made up of driveway and concrete walls at basement level, making it seem like you’re in a bowl of concrete. There’s The Island, a grass and tree space between the two main driveways where Joshua chops wood and wood that has been delivered is stored. And finally, there’s the area we’ve been calling the field or the pasture.
The field is about a 1/2 acre of space, enclosed in a high-quality wooden fence. This is the area that we plan to use for keeping animals. However, like the rest of the property, it had been completely taken over by brushy weeds. Keep Reading
Welcome to The Wallow
| October 19, 2009 | Posted by Issa under Uncategorized |
In the past few days, we have set up most of the rooms in our home, Joshua has tilled three garden beds and built a work bench, I’ve begun building a crafting table, Joshua mowed and we both raked up the grass to become hay for later, we worked on hoeing the weeds off the brick walkways, we ran cable for internet, we’ve grilled out several nights, we sit on our front porch swing and enjoy the view, we’ve met some neighbors, and so many other random bits of this and that.

Contract Signed on the House
| August 7, 2009 | Posted by Issa under Uncategorized |
I’m on my way to becoming a farm girl! Last night Joshua and I signed the contract on the house. (Well, Joshua signed it, I looked on in awe.) We’re hoping to close by the end of this month, but I have no reference for how likely that is. It seems soon, but our broker thinks it’s do-able. Keep Reading
