| Description: | In 2002, I dragged my professor-husband and three kids from the Chicago suburbs to this 32-acre homestead on a creek in the middle of nowhere. As clueless city slickers, we make a lot of mistakes, learn a little, and have a lot of fun. If it sounds like a frontier version of Gilligan's Island ... well, sit right back and you'll hear a tale of goat birthing, gardening woes, coyote problems, food from the farm, housebuilding progress, and whatever happens to be happening around here. |
