Homestead Sissies

Three sisters helping to found an intergenerational family homestead in the Ozarks.

Our main focus this week was helping our brother Levi put down his DIY plywood plank flooring before his new baby arrives.

It was a good week. We had a lot of catching up to do after so many of us were sick. Life with a new puppy is crazy. Still — we got the news we have been waiting for, and it was good.

After years of using a weed trimmer to control our grass, we finally invested in a mower.

After the cool, rainy June, summer finally arrived with July — with all its blessings and curses.

The loss of electricity was the latest effect of the barrage of yet more thunderstorms we had this week. They culminated on Thursday, dumping between 3-5 inches of rain in our area.

It was a week of catching up between thunderstorms. After all the rain in May, the grass around the bunkhouse and weeds in the garden had gotten way out of control. Check out our weekly update...

I woke up tired this morning. I took my coffee and walked around on the dewy grass, barefoot.

There’s just nothing like green growing things, be they okra sprouts or wild pecan trees.

It feels so good to have the exterior siding FINALLY done!

April showers were real this week, as we were pelted by thunderstorm after thunderstorm.

We finally started our seeds this week -- tomatoes, peppers, okra, herbs, and so many flowers.

Our brothers made a lot of progress on our siding this week! We also started our kitchen shelving, refinished some cast iron, and did too much holiday cooking.

I’ve written before about the providence of Lent falling in the spring, when nature itself draws us into a place of renewal.

The wet weather kept us inside most days, where we finally stained the boards for our upper kitchen shelving.

This week's springlike weather inspired Bonnie-Jean to start redding up the garden for a new season!
