[SummerhillHomestead]

My husband isn’t into the idea of homesteading like I am, but I’ve decided that I will only take on what I can handle. He does help me with the chickens. He designed and helped me build the coop, helps me lift heavy things or things that take more then one person to move. I’m resolved to this being enough for now. I do the gardens and majority of yard work. It’s a lot, but I love it. I move the mulch and deep bedding to the chicken run, clean the coop, make the compost, etc. I do the canning and preserving etc. I enjoy doing these things. We may not ever end up with any other animals other then possibly meat birds or quail (although honey bees is my next project), But, I have just decided that I’m only going to take on as much as I can handle and still find joy.
