It’s become evident that the vast majority of our visitors from Google prefer the pages dedicated to our French Angora Rabbits over any other topic that we bring up here. I don’t post about them as much as I would like to, which is a shame because they really are a perfect homesteading animal for small-scale farming. Really, I don’t know why they aren’t more popular. Perhaps it’s all those books and websites out there that purport that if you don’t follow…
I keep asking myself that question: will there always be this much change, or is it just because we’re new to this and need to make adjustments as we go? We keep reworking things and shift gears so often that sometimes it feels like it’s time to sit down and take a Dramamine. Change is good – heck, it’s necessary – especially when first starting out.

If anyone thought everything here was fun, that we’ve learned all there is to know and that our reading has adequately prepared us for what we’re doing, then I’m afraid that we’ve failed to underscore some of the very real second guessing, overthinking and worry that…
