Somehow I've got it in my head that we won't really be homesteading, urban or otherwise, until we get some laying hens. Silly, I know...vegans "do" homesteading without chickens. Still, it's just a notion of mine.
Looks like this year won't be the year we become "official" homesteaders. We've talked it over and the time just isn't right for us to take on chickens. Remember, it's our year to finish projects...not take on new ones.
Maybe next year will be the year we get our hens. Until then, I have an "egg lady" that can buy farm-fresh, free-range eggs (and honey) from.
So we won't be chickening this year. But with luck, we'll be greenhousing, and irrigation-systeming, and maybe even solar-paneling. Maybe we'll be homesteading after all.
