I am committed!

I almost gave up before I started! Last night I was doing a lot of research on buying land, building cabin kits, ordinances, permits, easements, ingress, egress!!!! My head was spinning and my usual flight or flight kicked in. No I have no fight. Haha. Mind exhausted and disappointed I went to bed. This morning I woke up and said. Why can’t I? So many other people have done it, why can’t I??? I am a Capricorn, I have a history of doing what I set my mind to in a slow and methodical manner. I have done the impossible many times. So here I am, reinforced with my I can do it energy.
My Plan: To buy land, and build a small home from a cabin kit to live in. Maybe not completely sustainable, organic or green but as much as I am able! I want solar and wind energy. I figure I could start small first. I have been transitioning my current home to more simple, green, and less chemicals. I am not 100% vegetarian but my diet is healthier and more natural and less processed.
I want chickens and goats, bees and honey and a fire pit. I want to sit on my porch or on the couch in front of the wood stove and read. I want to make jellies and pickles. I am going to try to garden. My history isn’t spectacular in that area. But then again, I will be in the boonies and will probly drive by many many farm stands. So these are my wants, I have a long list of plans that I am sure I will learn by trial and error. I will chronicle it all here so you can learn from my exploration.
I am going to do it alone and I am not going to do it alone. I read a lot of blogs and I listen to a lot of podcasts related to my plans. I have always listed to More Hip than Hippie which is a wealth of excellent information! And really fun to listen to. What has kick started this project is my recent find of Self-Sustainable Homestead. I want to live next door to Johnny Max and the Queen! There is Mother Earth News and many other books and articles and I promise I will share everything with you with links to where I originally found it to give credit to the original creators.
I have lived in the city, I have lived in rural homes out in the boonies. I have lived in Denver and I have had an RV on Lake Ontario. I have learned I am not an out west mountain girl, although Denver was absolutely gorgeous and if I met a man and got married and he wanted to move to Denver I would go, but I certainly AM an East coast girl. I prefer Lake Ontario even tho Lake Erie is about a few miles from me right now.
So of course I plan to buy the land first. Purchase a cabin kit, have it built. I have given my self about an 8-10 month goal to buy the land. So in the mean time I will share recipes and milestones. Unless I win the lottery and then I will begin my plans immediately! Haha. There is so much to do and so much to tell you. Visit me now and then, pull up a chair next to the fire and have a glass of my home brewed sweet tea let me tell you about……..
