| These are the acompanying pictures for my Homesteaducation blog. � It is an attempt at practical experience based education in homesteading and self-reliance. The ultimate goal for me is to be content with a self dictated lifestyle supplimented by self employment in a home based business (or a compilation of a few relitivly related schemes). This is only some of the documentation we are keeping but I hope it will serve well to those who may be homesteading vicariously through my blog.
