Homestead mailing list

[william Eggers <wce1482 AT yahoo.com>]

I guess I am at a loss.  I thought homesteading involved farming and I bet a 
lot of the other members of this group did too.  I guess I need you to tell 
me what homesteading does involve.  I am really mistified.

And I think you are rather arrogant to tell the people on this list with more 
combined homesteading experience than you have birthdays that they should be 
ignored because you know as much or more than they do.   By the way, 
homesteading and farming as you have described it have little to do with one
another.

I started late, but getting back to the land is a 'calling'. For me, once I
made the decision that it wasn't 'impossible' (as everyone kept telling me),
it was something that couldn't be denied. I'm just sorry I didn't start when
I was younger.
