The Gothic Homesteader

Homesteading, the Simple Life, and Minimalism all can go hand in hand together really well.  Minimalism helps one plan for what you really need and be willing to share your abundance.  Simple Living helps one not stress to much in and find a lot of joy in minimalism.  Homesteading give one something to pour yourself into, once Simple Living and Minimalism takes deep roots.  It doesnt matter if it a rural homestead, or an apartment homestead on the 10 or 20th floor; it is the heart of the Homesteader that remains the same!

I must apologize, all my fellow Gothic Homesteaders, for my long silence on this blog.  July saw us get a job back in the New Mexico/Four Corners region, and we have been swamped packing, moving, settling, and getting into the flow of our life back here.  Our ornamental purple sweet potato vine and setcreasea did survive the move, which is a good thing. I am adding purple mums this week, too. Our other big news is we have been given about a 1/4 to 1/2 acre lot to place a cabin on, near where we work.  We are currently working on getting the money in place to get it placed on the homesite.  Until then we are in a 1920's rented bungalow.  As well, I have blogging on my other blog: A Gothic Minimalist , but as the weeks and months move a head, I will be blogging more on both sites.  Keep an eye on both for alot of info; until then, keep on Gothic Homesteading! ~ Morria
