This is a new blog for me. Some may know me from my other blog, GirlGoneGardening. I feel GirlGoneGardening has become stale and aimless. I will be closing it. So I'm trying on a new face. A new face to match my new resolve to follow my dreams and to make new things happen. I will treat this blog not only as a journal of the journey---however long the journey takes to reach the destination---but as a letter to friends, on-line and in person. I have been neglectful of a blog that had potential. I have been neglectful of the kind people who generously took the time to add comments. And for that, I am sorry. I have not been a very generous on-line host.
Some of the things I hope to accomplish (though they may be out of reach at this time) are:
- Buying land and either building a house, moving a trailer to it, or repair an existing house.
- Learn to live more off the land---perhaps even getting to a point where I only have to work part time or not at all.
- Learn to live more out of the garden, and this includes raising my own meat foods.
- Learn new skills from carpentry to hunting.
It may be a while before I have this land, it may be forever even. I don't know but I aim to try my hardest to get there. And should the opportunity arise I will be ready to grab it by the horns.
I hope you will like my new blog. I plan to post on it regularly and if you will be so kind as to give a shout, I promise to shout right on back.
Goodnight,
Nickie

Hi Homestead Dreams. Thanks for posting on Homesteading Today - I will be checking your blog. I too have dreamed of homesteading but have ended up going a different way - but I can still live the dream vicariously through you! Good luck.
Oldroses, thanks for stopping by, I left a messege for you.
the mcalpines, I too am living vicariously right now. I hope to change all that!
I'm thinking good thoughts for you as you begin working towards these dreams with new vigor and a new blog!
Hi Nickie....I've been reading your GirlGone Gardening blog for awhile now....you and I have exchanged messages on Homesteading Today....which always seems DOWN for me lately!
anyway, I've bookmarked your new blog and will keep checking back to see what you're up to!
I hope you can get out of that trailer park you're in right now, and get on a small piece of land, so you can do Whatever You Like!!

Hey, there,
I've been following your adventures for quite a while, now, and feel a connection to you (especially the animals/finances/homestead dreams threads).
HOWEVER, I really, really have trouble with your new white font on black. My 52 year old eyes just can handle the strain and I get a headache, sometimes, from the contrast. Any chance you could take pity on your older readers and go back to something..uhm..less dramatic? :-)
You changed it! You altered the font and background.
Thank you so much!
I hope you don't feel that you've sacrificed artistic integrity on the altar of consumption. ;-)
My eyes thank you, as well.
