I live on 14.5 acres in Amish country in Ohio. I have raised chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits & sheep. I’ve planted cherries, hazelnuts, peaches, mulberries, paw paws, apples, pears & nectarines. I garden (badly) but I am learning more every year. I work remotely for a bank as a mortgage underwriter- fingers crossed I am still doing that when you read this. I hunt on my land - have gotten 5 deer since I moved out here. Into everything homesteading.

Just hit 13 at the 2nd. 1st job was easy enough to stay at cuz I like money & had mouths to feed. 2nd one is way more enjoyable. Keeping my income & knowledge from years in the same job I went remote & bought a farm. While I sell my days for money I spend my night/weekends building my retirement, buying bitcoin & raising animals to be more free than I ever thought I could. The job stability let me look around & find something that was a strong fit for me & what I wanted to do with my life. npub1sden9s5dj8ccj0u2erg9g5vxpe2duwcnhyv3spnhcpvd8p03ufhsrn75z3 CKMe Wasn’t this represented in the movie Hugo from 2011 npub1sden9s5dj8ccj0u2erg9g5vxpe2duwcnhyv3spnhcpvd8p03ufhsrn75z3 CKMe Today is clean house day.

Cut your expenses to the bone until you get there. No eating out & no luxury items. It’s hard, but doable. Once you get that set aside you’ll be able to breathe easier & relax a little npub1sden9s5dj8ccj0u2erg9g5vxpe2duwcnhyv3spnhcpvd8p03ufhsrn75z3 CKMe Rouxe bear just passed. She was an awesome mastiff. The drooliest, doggiest, cuddliest doggo there ever was. We don’t deserve dogs, but I am glad that they are a part of our worlds. https://image.nostr.build/9344da1c5acfffe66fa994da9c7937db02efeac1bd6af8b0479ab7594964cce5.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d70c6065ccd08cab0912d0673932d0fbc285dbf9670dc0b69f4ad177c5ed3cbd.jpg https://image.nostr.build/851a8f343c78f101ee425e127f20fa4a5c76986c3444c68d93f0d0ef0c8b2e5f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/eaf848c00362a44e6d35b1fc7b47bc9cd112d054830e989f3960a901c477aeef.jpg npub1sden9s5dj8ccj0u2erg9g5vxpe2duwcnhyv3spnhcpvd8p03ufhsrn75z3 CKMe He had a big song called Freedom or something when the wall came down.

Morning pond report is that the horrible cold has broken! It’s 2 out there right now, but daily temperatures are now in the 20’s instead of the teens. 10 degrees is a lot when you’re that low. Next week we’re supposed to be above freezing. Not looking as forward to that as the snow will start melting. Oh well, that’s how seasons go! #coffeechain https://image.nostr.build/144a9832e89850b0b6bec65a395306645f1bd20690f6f6945c5cfbc304374fd5.jpg npub1sden9s5dj8ccj0u2erg9g5vxpe2duwcnhyv3spnhcpvd8p03ufhsrn75z3 CKMe Morning Enjoy npub1sden9s5dj8ccj0u2erg9g5vxpe2duwcnhyv3spnhcpvd8p03ufhsrn75z3 CKMe It does.
