When you're that cute, who needs brains? I'm sure that's the motto of many a supermodel!How did the animals react when you came home from your adventures? Were they happy to see you, or sulking because you left them? It's OK if Blackberry is "a little dense". When you're that cute, who needs brains? I'm sure that's the motto of many a supermodel!

I noticed in the 5th picture of this post that you have two glass lamps lit on the table. My dad just gave me one of these lamps for Christmas and I wonder what type of fuel I should use and also where to find wicks? I would appreciate any suggestions you may have! Thanks!

I've been following your blog for maybe a year, and it's posts like these that help me imagine myself as the urban homesteader I want to be! Since reading your journals I've finally realized this is what I want to commit my life to, it's just getting there that it the hard part. But in two months me and my partner will be moving cross country to California, and hopefully will be able to start out first garden, work less, and live more simply. I was so discouraged at first because we didn't own a home (making it hard to garden) and because we both have to work, which makes homesteading and DIY living very difficult. Reading your blog has taught me to walk one step at a time down the path...thank you for that! I truly feel like I'm making progress towards where I want my life to be. Please continue with these posts, they are so inspiring! I love these picture post!
