Homestead mailing list

[VAN DELL JORDAN <vdjor AT yahoo.com>]

My resolution is to manage to accomplish one tenth as
much as Bev does.  

My goal is to get a pond built. USDA has just approved
their participation.  (2)get a forestry plan made.
(3)get the house moved So that son & daughter-law can
move on site and daughter can start homesteading as
she is one with inclination and time.  Then, of course
I need to get our house settled so that Sue and I can
be close also.  (4)start planting trees,  fruit
screen,  timber and maybe start Christmas tree
farming.
(5)Layout other buildings, fences etc.

By the way Bev, I have at least a dozen old moldy
round bales, large ones, that you can have.  Just come
and get them.
