Where did Spring go?

Hello again. 

I have been trying to figure out what I should post about next, and still haven't come up with anything specific. I have not done anything on our homestead so far this Spring and I don't know if I will. 

Summer is EARLY! 😰

I am a bigger gal. I am an Autumn, Winter and early Spring kind of lady. This year it seems we went straight from Winter to Summer and I HATE it. lol. I step outside and I feel like all life is draining from me and I have about 10 minutes to do what I need to do or I will die. No lie. 😟 So, HOW am I supposed to this "offgrid homestead" thing?!

I have many worries and concerns at the moment regarding my ability to handle life out here in the country. I know deep down that it is a goal that CAN be accomplished, I just have to figure out how I personally am going to be able to do it while taking care of a toddler. I stress out a lot about keeping him safe and that keeps me from doing much with him outside. I am working on it... slowly. 

When our house is finally done and we get into a new routine, things might be easier for me. I will actually be living in our own home, closer to our part of the property where our garden is. During naps, I can go out and do work and hear the baby monitor. I can't do that here. I know that I will need to start doing things outdoors with my son with me, but there are things that need done first. Lots of weeding, weed eating, moving things out of the yard into a more proper place, tick killer... list goes on. THEN I can put down a baby fence and let him play in it while I do my own thing and have a little more comfort. 

I should have baby-worn from the beginning 

So, this blog might not have a whole lot of homesteading stories QUITE yet.  Sometime in Autumn, we should be moved out and the adventure fully begins. How will this city girl handle not having so much electricity at her fingertips? Composting toilets?!! No cable or reliable internet service!? No central air!?!?!  Gods be good! lol. One day though, it will all work out. We will have figured out what works for us and if something doesn't we will fix it. I will have the solar I need to feel "normal" and I will have adapted to a few things as well (hopefully 😉)
