In January of 2006, we purchased our 40 acre farm in the Ozark Hills of Missouri. The following July we realized our dream and made the jump from life in the city to country living. This blog is about my homesteading adventures since then.

The past year has in the Ozarks has been filled with wild and devastating weather. Less than a year ago we had an incredible ice storm that shut the area down and left homes and businesses without power for two weeks. Over the summer we experienced several heavy rains and flash floods around Joplin and one in Webster county that I personally will never forget. Last night wave after wave of tornadoes and severe storms with hail and heavy rain - and, yes, flooding - swept through this neck of the woods. What next? I'm ready for some boring, quiet weather. Unfortunately, I think I like in the wrong part of the country for that. The saying goes that 'if you don't like the weather around here, stick around, it'll change'.
