My muscles are getting bigger.

We have been working cutting down trees.  We've been cutting down trees so we can build a house.  We haven't started on the house yet. 

We've been carrying the trees near the fire ring.  It is very hard work.  I like it.  I can make bigger muscles.

We've been camping.  Camping is so great because it is a lot of fun.

We've been playing in mud and painting with mud and getting ourselves all messy.  It is fun getting messy and painting with the mud.

I like it here.  It is so much fun.

We had peach oatmeal for breakfast.  It is so yum.  It was cooked on the fire.  We had spaghetti last night that was also cooked on the fire.  We've had lots of soups cooked on the wood stove.  We have lots of food to eat that is so yum.

God blessed me very well.  He gave me friends and family.

2 days worth

Thursday, April 22, 2010 We have been cutting down trees and dragging them. It is hard work.

We have been cutting down trees to make a path so we can move vehicles.

It gets cold at night so we sleep under lots of covers. We also make campfires at night. I love to make fire starters.

The goats and chickens like it here a little bit. The dogs are happy and the baby goats love it a lot.

We get our water from the creek. When we get the water, we filter it and boil it and then we can drink it.

I like to play in the forest. I like to play hide-and-seek with Ben. He is a good hider.

God has blessed me today by helping me to not do bad things and when I do bad things, He helps me to change then to good.

Yesterday it rained a little. It felt wonderful. Today, it rained a lot. I like them rain.

I could not go in the woods yesterday because I forgot to put my whistle on.

I like to make fire starters because it makes the fire go.

God has blessed me very much. He helps me do right instead of wrong.

This is the mom

This blog has been created for my son, Charlie to chronicle his experience with being raised as a deliberate agregarian and building an earthen house using raw materials and renewable resources. We arrived in the Ozarks yesterday and landed on 80 acres. I want a place for him to be able to write out his experience and be able to see how things go through his eyes.
