When I saw the link up titled "Done with Homesteading", I thought, "Who's quitting? And WHY?"! And then, when I saw it was Rose Petal, I thought I had read wrong... until I read about her week! Now I've had some bad weeks homesteading, but none like hers! I honestly believe quitting would have been a consideration for me as well. I couldn't blame her for wanting to pack the bags and head back to civilization (so to speak).
But she didn't throw in the towel... not yet. And she shared 7 things she has learned in the process. Friends, these are seven important things that you need to read and mediate on! I agree with each one of the things she listed and they are things that I have not articulated strongly enough, so I was very pleased to read her post all the way to the end and glean such wonderful thoughts. I hope they are profitable for you as well!
Starting next week, the Barn Hop Hostesses will select our Featured Posts from those that include the Homestead Barn Hop "button" on their blog post. We want to help spread the community spirit and so many of you have so graciously done so. Thank you!! We appreciate the fact that you've taken the time to include this button on your post and tried to encourage others to participate!
For those who need a bit of help installing the button, you can easily do so by copying it and uploading it as a regular photo with a link back to one of our blogs OR you can get the code version by going to my right side bar and clicking the chicken photo that says "HR Buttons". Just scroll down until you see the Homestead Barn Hop button.
For those who have been featured...
If you've been a featured blogger on the Barn Hop, either now or in the past, we will have a special button for you should you wish to add it to your sidebar stating that you've been a featured blogger! You may link it back to the page where you were featured so your readers can see.
Join The Barn Hop!
