Homesteader Life

My good friend and Sister in the Lord, Christina, has decided to start blogging again. Be sure to stop in say Hi.

Ian Walthew, author of the book A Place In My Country: In Search Of A Rural Dream has included Homesteader Life on his “Farm Blogs from Around the World” site. You can read what he had to say HERE. I’d like to thank Ian for his kind words and Marci for the recommendation.
