One of the bloggers I have been following for a few years has self published, and I would love to add a copy of her book to my personal library. She has an impressive array of informative links on her site to a range of homesteading and self sufficiency sites and references, and I've learned a lot from her thoughtful, honest, and sometimes self-effacing posts. She and her husband have slowly been rebuilding their home and learning about the realities of trying to provide for themselves and their animals on their land in South Appalachia. She actually has her rain catchment system connected and functioning, and a wood cook stove in her kitchen. I can hope and dream!
Leigh was the first blogger that I've followed who actually published a comment on this blog, and I have to say that it gave me a bit of a thrill to hear from someone I've been following for so long. She has a wonderful blog,
5 Acres and a Dream, and I've been learning about her efforts to re-mineralize her soil and grow food for her animals rather than being completely dependant on the feed store.
By posting this entry, I've got a chance to win her book in a draw - but I intend to add it to my collection either way! I encourage you to go have a look at what they've accomplished. You might just be inspired.
Thank you so much for this! It's encouraging when folks are so willing to help me spread the word about my book.
ReplyDeleteGuess what I got for Christmas?!? Apparently Santa Claus is keeping an eye on my blog. So pleased to have all of your work in a physical book format for a leisurely read on a cold winter morning, tucked in my cosy bed. (After I fed the animals, of course!)
