Actually, I love that cottagecore has given Gen Z a word for "I want to have a big garden and cook my own food and keep chickens" that isn't casually invoking colonialism and manifest destiny. I get so goddamned uncomfortable every time someone refers to their urban hobby farm as a "homestead" and I'm glad to finally see it being replaced with other terms. I will buy a million books about how to live a cottagecore lifestyle if it will convince publishers to stop marketing the "homesteader" lifestyle and will get white city dwellers to stop unironically self-identifying as colonizers.

We have had 3 hard frosts and the veggies still pull through. It pays to save your seeds as seeds have a memory.

Booking tours now through mid April 2025.

Beauty is All Around

When I started this page, the purpose was to highlight all the ways people can get places and the beauty that’s in our own backyard. Cars are not the only solution- and we miss a lot of life when we are rushing to get from point A to point B.

I’ve spent almost 11 years without a driver’s license or a car, and that is by choice. Back when I drove, my anxiety and depression were almost uncontrollable. I hated the winter (now it’s my favorite season!), I was always nervous something would go wrong, and being inside a vehicle gave me panic attacks. They still do- but something about walking down the street and saying hi to your neighbors, striking up a conversation on the train, or feeling the breeze on your face riding a bike fills my heart with such joy. My world has completely transformed during these 11 years.

Find the things that make you happy. It doesn’t matter what anyone else says about it- even if they call you crazy for moving to Detroit without a car ❤️

Every now and then I crave an escape from the crowded city streets and I let myself get lost in the narrow, hidden alleyways. I love wandering through unfamiliar places until I stumble upon a cozy, quiet cafe, where I can sit with a warm cup of coffee and maybe a little dessert. ☕🍰

In these tucked -away spots I can pause from the daily routine, savore the peaceful atmospher and let my thoughts drift.

It's a little gift to myself a moment to recharge, daydream and remember the beauty of slowing down and enjoing the simple things.

Good afternoon everyone~

It's cold, windy and it's been raining on and off all day but I finally got out to harvesting the sweet potatoes.

I started with the 'L' bed.

This is the bowl I'll be using to collect the spuds for this deep raised bed.

Those are full size scissors btw. This is the absolute biggest strainer I own and when I do harvesting I'm always glad to have it! Helps with carrying and washing off dirt outside so much easier!

It was pretty fun digging round for the spuds and to be honest the size and shape of some of them really suprised me!

For some size comparison, my hand is right on top of them.

All cleaned out!

Next was the little round bed in the corner. I wasn't really expecting much, but it filled the bin pretty good.

I've washed the spuds off and am letting them dry off but I'll be finding a spot inside soemwhere to let them sit and cure for a bit of time. (I probably will let them cure until end of febuary.)

Curing your sweet potatoes is what makes them sweet, you can eat them right away but their said to be bitter. (I will be trying 1 potato to see if this is true!) Curing them should be done for at least 2 week in a cool dry space (around 80*f). If you under 80*f space add 7 more days.

I thought this was neat and wanted to share it. since I've not seen a sweet potato grown or dug up before

I wasn't expecting so much differance in spud size from one single root.

And one last pic,

The ducks quite like the greens, while there's not much left of it I'm going to leave the vines a couple days so they can use it as enrichment/snack opportunity.

Weigh in on the spuds later!

🍠🌱Happy Homesteading and Harvesting!!

Took this photo on 1-5-2025 in the a.m.. These herbs and veggies have survived 2 hard frosts thus far in early winter. The next 10 nights will be at or below 26 degrees for multiple hours. I’m curious how these seed saved plants will do. They have a great memory of previous years of cold so fingers crossed for stronger plants in late February.

In the tradition.

When you operate a small farm, stuff happens and ya gotta stop and repair, replace or recycle what’s broken. It’s not always easy and it definitely is a time commitment, however, it still remains a blessing because during the downtime, lessons are learned.

What have you fixed recently?

will scan and start colouring on monday but. yeay

the rewrite of this novel is going great, actually. I fought the rewrite so long, but honestly considering the way I plot, rewriting makes such a more cohesive piece in the end. This is the one I plan to get professionally edited next year, and then I'll be releasing it for free.

I'm not going to be published.

I'm not good at 'branding' myself, and that's what they want right now.

But honestly at the heart of things, while being published would be nice (the money to fix my health issues would be cool), I just want to tell a story to as many people as possible.

So, I'll just be releasing it for free, in as many formats as I have the time to put it in.
