I love it! I have looked at all the beautiful pictures and can't wait to pour over the words. I am so going to make an outpost in my backyard and am on the hunt for something to use as a tub!! I did read the article about the outlaw chicken farmers (as I am one too) and the outlaw clothes lines. I live in an HOA that also prohibits the use of clothes lines. It is suppose to be there to protect us but all I see it doing is taking my rights away while the ones on the board and their friends spend time tattling on everyone. How is that productive?! With the economy the way it is and more houses than I care to count in my community with foreclosure stickers you think they will give it a rest.
homeschooling mama trying to live my farm life dream on our half acre.
I'm considering becoming an outlaw too-no poultry is allowed in my town (though I know of one person who has a pet turkey) and a new Farm & Home just opened in--you guessed it--my town. They have chicks and I know that me and my neighbors would love fresh eggs. However, one of my neighbor's is a lawyer's son and--need I say more? Maybe I could keep them in the basement (shhh--don't tell!) Cindy PS--I just got the Outpost book about two weeks ago and I love the account of how MaryJane caught the trout by tickling them...
Lisa, you will love it. I have had all three of MaryJane's books for over a year now and it is still my favorite past-time. I think everytime I open them I find a new little treasure, something I want to do or try or make....
I just ordered that book yesterday! I can't wait to read it! I have been wanting an outdoor tub forever and I think that I have finally settled on getting one of those big galvanized troughs from Tractor Supply. One of the farmgirls here named Rosemary has one already set up and a photo of it on her blog. I could have used it at the farm this weekend. It seems like every time we go down the shower is broken because some pipes froze.
I got my Outpost book today
