We are longing for land!

Spring is nearly upon us (thank you, thank you, thank you, dear Lord!), and my boys are outside "working" on their playhouse and hopefully their building skills. Our family's dream for years has been to abandon the neighborhood and head to the hills, where we long to produce most of our food, raise a few critters, and eventually build our own house. We are intrigued by the "Little House on the Prairie" lifestyle and wish to embrace it as our own, if the Lord permits.

We are learning as we go and trying to store up skills (and money) that will one day land us on a parcel of acreage where we can tinker in nature and self-sufficiency to our heart's content. I have decided to chronicle our journey so that we can look back on it one day with amusement and so that we can hopefully meet a few friends who are on board and can share encouragement and learn the ropes with us.
