What happened to our warm weather!!!??!! We were having such lovely warm temps over the last two weeks. Then all of a sudden a cold snap hit us, I would imagine this is the last one before spring truly comes(fingers crossed). It’s been in the mid 30’s at night, our poor garden is so confused. We lost a couple of zucchini plants to frost, but thankfully everything else seemed to manage just fine. Tiny little buds are popping up from my planters, where I have put some flower seeds. I am so excited to see the little green sprouts, maybe I have a green thumb after all. The chickens had slowed down in their egg production, which should pick up again now that warmer temps are on the near horizon. Most everything on our little homestead is doing beautifully, we are so grateful!
On another note, we have decided to embark upon another little project. Maybe not as drastic as going without lights(our last project), but will definitely be challenging. We have decided to cancel our internet service for a little while. It amazes me when I really think about how much time of our day and evening go to the internet. It’s a waste really, there are so many other productive and beneficial things we could be doing. Not only will we save ourselves about $70/month, I personally think it will help us to become better parents. We will still have access(limited) to our email and my blog, by way of free internet use at the library – which will probably happen only a couple times a week. It will be interesting to see how well we thrive without it. As I have discussed in previous blog posts over at wonderfulmessysweetlife.blogspot.com, we are such a connected society and so wrapped up in social media that it really has diminished our quality of life. I pray that this time without constant connection to the outside world in our home will afford us some clarity and perspective on our family life. I am so very excited to see what changes this project will bring about.
