Plus it makes pulling the last of the weeds much easier. Put straw on my berry beds and towels on the line this morning. During my break, I got to catch up on what you’ve been up to which makes my day brighter.

I have really been enjoying it and learning a lot. My husband and I have taken steps towards this way of life over the past several years but are now preparing to take it even a step further. I read in your book that you make your own dog food. We have a cat and are interested in making our own food for him. Could you give me some direction in this area?Thank you Rhonda for your dedication to this way of life and taking the time to pass along everything you have learned.

I don't know if a messy home makes me depressed, or if being a bit depressed makes me messy. I felt so much better after reading that piece, because I always get those things done.

We are about to plant beetroot in the greenhouse and put a new fence up around our turmeric crop. Today is very windy so I am going to spend time in the shed learning the fine art of how to use a drill and electric saw. I am making pallet furniture using timber from pallets made into a stylish day bed, table and chairs!

It makes me feel strangely calm in the chaos - i am working, have a toddler and a husband. Thank you for writing beautiful words, posting lovely pictures and sharing your daily routines of life. <br /><br />I just managed to nab a copy of your book (I am bringing it with me on our weekend holiday) and hope to pass on these life skills to my son as he grows into an adult. Sending much love and gratitude all the way from W.A., Frankie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
