This Why We Do What We Do!

Link broken..check here for pdf of the article!

This article in the New York Times recently is a perfect example of what we love to help folks do, feed themselves fresh, healthy and frugal food!   It takes time and effort, but it is oh so worth it!
You can tell yourself anything is too difficult, or you can just do it. And you do not need to reconstruct your worldview or take issue with others.
You just need to be hungry.

Hoe Your Way to Greatness!

Many thanks to "Charles Shultz" thru the years.... our favorite recently... hope you can read it, I had to magnify it since I am not geeky enough to know how to do the "click to enlarge" thing :)

Ahhh, The Art of Manliness

From Art of Manliness  article on 45 Manly Hobbies comes this on Gardening:

"Perhaps one of the most powerful manly images in America is that of the yeoman farmer- he’s the self-reliant man who cultivates his own land to provide for his and his family’s needs. You don’t need a homesteading plot to start getting in touch with the land; a small square in your backyard will suffice. If you have a job that keeps you cooped up in an office all day with artificial light and stale recycled air, gardening is a great hobby to pursue in order to get some exercise, sunlight, and fresh air. As you watch your garden grow from seeds to plants, you’ll find yourself becoming more in tune with the seasons. When you harvest your small crop, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment that beats any high score on a video game. And when you make your first meal with vegetables grown in your very own garden, you’ll feel a surge of manly pride."
