I tell you what - having a homestead really is a lot of work. And I have come to realize this even more over the last month since recovering from Covid.
I had to let things go for several weeks while I was sick. I only did the basics. Then it took me a bit of time to get going again. And it didn't help that I had a list of things that needed to be done when I got sick.
Over the last month I have slowly been chipping away with all the things that needed to be done around here. It has brought me great joy to see the progress. But as I am worked out in the yard and garden and with the chickens and all, I have realized that It truly is a whole lot of work to have a homestead.
I think that some people have a romantic idea about what homesteading is all about. They don't realize that there is work to be done no matter what the weather is like. When you have animals - you have to get out and care for them - whether the temps are in the single digits or the triple digits. Rain or Shine. It has to be done.
It is well worth all the work, but a lot of work none the less. But there are great joys that come along with it and I am so grateful to have my garden, yard, and chickens that need tending to. It is truly a blessing and blesses me!!
