The earthcrete/bahareque room is coming along nicely. It's hard to imagine a space this beautiful becoming a tool room, so our plans are under evaluation...

Construction with improvised and natural materials is never fast, rarely efficient, but always unique.

The pastures have rested and the animals are out in the field again, which means a daily hike around the and all-weather milking.

I live for these breaks from , for the daily reminder that life is amazing, and so much more than what happens on a computer.

I every day, but Friday kicks off my personal time! Today I hope to record my latest as a podcast, update my site with it and a few other details, then settle into chapter 9 of the book I'm writing. Maybe I'll even get up another blog post this weekend. 🤞

Here's a farm picture picture. I know that's what ya'll are really interested in 😉

I've been working my way through the pig fat in my freezer, rendering lard and making chicharrones. Pigs are a staple on our farm. They not only help us till the soil, control grass, and fertilize - but they also provide the main source of protein and fat for our diet.

These pigskins will be strained out then put in the air fryer, where the last lard will be drawn out and they will puff into the most delicious of snacks. 🤤

Working with what you have is never fast. It's never easy. It's never picture perfect. But what you make is uniquely yours. It holds not only your blood, sweat, and tears - but also a little bit of your soul. It holds your hopes for the future and your respect for the past. And little by little, everything takes the shape of the life you want to live.
