Mother, grandmother, homesteader, wannabe hermit, painter, author, crafter, mechanic, crazy chicken lady, dog lover, cat fancier, hobby prepper and survivor. Raised in the suburbs, lived in a big city, now retired in a rural setting trying to learn to be self sufficient. As you can see I have lots of interests and am always open to learning new things. Please follow my blog to learn, teach and share with me. They say I should post a picture of myself, but I'm camera shy, instead I give you Mel (Mellow Yellow) my alpha rooster.
