Wild flowers, at summer's end. Time to gather and spreads the seeds.

Homesteading on a strip mineto taught us, grow things and propogate plants some might call weeds'
It is better to build the soil and nuture, than to force your will.
God created a world that heals.
There will come a time to try grow plants you desire.
When we bought the property a farmer was baling straw on the land, as I helped him load bales on his wagon, we talked.
He told me I would never grow anything but grass, the soil was like concrete.
Very slowly and with many failed attempts we established some trees.
But we get great joy in spreading our wild flowers
Our neighbor is a bee keeper, we get our honey from him, made from our wild flowers,
Bees are an important element in restoration of the land..

Our recent venture into the Pennsylvania Wilds. One-hundred miles on the Pine Creek Gorge rails to trails.

                  Bicycle !! Go outside, seek adventure, read!!!!
                               Build a fire.
                        Watch for images in the clouds.
     This is the same camper we lived in while building the Instead.
  The same camper I lived in when I worked at NASA, Plum Brook.
              The same camper we used in Yellowstone, etc.
                            Still waters.

                                                 One of the reasns we call our homestead,

                                                                      Instead.


                                            We pile up brush to create what I call Rabitat.
                                            Use an old settling pond to create wetlands.
                 Keep life simple, appreciate everything. Know the difference between wants and needs.
