When I first started "blogging"... wait, who am I kidding, blogging means to consistently produce content. Having only 6 posts over an almost 11 year period does not fit this. I always wanted to share my journey, but life is crazy busy when you have 2 amazing kids (between school and events), move houses, setup an acreage, work from home, so on and so on. Somedays I wonder how my sanity is still somewhat here, but then I walk outside, observe my children running around and playing with the animals and bam, there it is, my sanity. Nature, it does wonderful things for us and I wish more people could spend time outside enjoying it.
We purchased our acreage in Southern Alberta during the fall of 2015. We live in a lovely coulee and our yard is very prairie like, mostly just flat ground and grass with very limited trees. The area is supposed to be around a Zone 3B, but I can now declare that we get much colder down here than that based on what we have seen over three years. When we first toured this property, I would get lost in my dreams of everything we could and would do here. The house we knew would require a lot of work (little did we know that our inspector missed a ton of stuff, but it is still worth it). Our neighbours are amazing. It is truly like a little community here, reminds me of when I grew up on a farm before moving to town.
My goal with this blog is to create a running memory for myself of what we have done with our yard and homesteading trials and what the successes/learnings are each year. If this is something that interests you, please feel to follow along. If not, thank you for the time for reading to this point :)
Talk to you later,
Zone 3B Dreamer in Southern Alberta
