We've set up the website to be a simple way for you to keep up with what is going on with us. So its not flashy and we've tried to keep pop up ads to a minimum. I am working on the back story to how we got to where we are which I hope to post soon. After 3 days with 90 degree weather coming in just after a hail storm that broke some windows and shredded our garden I am finding that we are truly blessed. The garden is recovering - the asparagus looks great - and we'll end up with four energy efficient windows  that will help in the heating and cooling of the cottage.

Soon to come also will be pictures of before the big event and after, which I hope will chronicle our journey to self sufficient, debt free, simple living. Keep Calm and Carry On. Never give up.

We endured our first 90 degree day in our little unairconditioned cottage this Saturday and are working on our second today. We are learning to rise early, shut down mid afternoon, and then crank it back up again in the evening. Since I am just now learning how to use a Blog, I'll stop for now and resume once I gather my thoughts. My next post will be how this Story really Starts...
