This table’s built like a damn tank.

I’ll do everything in my power to never work for anyone else as long as I live. 

Marcus’ dining room table is two weeks away from being finished!

This book is magical—I don’t know any other way to describe it. There are entire chapters that leave me speechless and numb. 

This is my third time reading it, and I still feel the same excitement, joy and horror as I did the first time around. 

Turned my garden soil over this weekend. 

Finished building out the other two stalls on my raised bed garden last Sunday. Next step is to fill the entire thing to the brim with soil and install a soaker hose.

Watering my garden becomes the biggest hassle ( and threat ) as the season drags on. This year, planning as much as I possibly can around soaker hoses is the name of the game. 

Found this on Sunday’s bike ride. 

This piece of ground is a homestead now. 

And just like that, the 2013 garden season is underway!

Butchered my first turkey yesterday. It wasn’t as grizzly as I was expecting and after some reflection, I think it’s because of how quickly the animal resembles what you buy in a store.
