ObXmOm A place to write my thoughts. I support a green planet, I unschool my 3 children and love to garden. I'm a compost junky and recycle just about anything and everything! We have rabbits, chickens and a cat. Stop by and browse around. Our newest big project is a solar shower.
Heartsease Hollow is a dream in progress. I am a gal in my late 30's who loves her family, feels a strong need to get back to the simpler things in life, and feels a very strong connection to the earth. We make our home in a small town on a tiny plot of ground where we grow heirloom vegetables and herbs, have rabbits and chickens, and try to live as sustainable as possible. I will blog about my family's and my animal's daily antics, about what is going on in the garden-both edibles and , new recipes, food storage & preservation. And about things that I want to learn. These include: candle-making, soap-making, canning, and preparing my own herbal remedies. Along with the other hats I wear on a daily basis, I also wear a black pointed one--I am a very eclectic green witch or what some might call a hedge witch. I find my center in the natural world around me. I feel the magic in a full moon and and hear the wisdom whispered in the wind. My blog will also be about my journey on this path...come on by and see what we're up to...
This is the story of our urban family as we try to live a more sustainable lifestyle. We are turning our urban plot into a sustainable venture that will provide us with food, nourishment, and many adventures for us and our 2 boys. This includes growing our own food, raising citified chickens, becoming more energy-independent by using renewable resources and reducing our overall consumption.
