The Gothic Homesteader

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

Things have been on hold a bit here at the Gothic Apartment Homestead, or more like they have been totally swamped.  My husband started college, two months earlier than originally planned, I got a new job working overnights ( love the shift! ), and we had Thanksgiving to get through.  Now that things have leveled out, and with payday just around the corner, I shall be getting back to normal blogging. I did get a good book which I have started reading, that I highly recommend to all my fellow Gothic Apartment Homesteaders:  Apartment Gardening  by Amy Pennington.  Haven't read it all the way through yet, but well worth getting! ~ Morria
