Living Off The Grid

You know what would feel good right now? To be snowed-in without phone or power and to see that I have season’s worth of dry wood; several months worth of multi-colored jars of home-canned and dried food in the pantry; a root cellar stocked with potatoes, cured cheese, carrots and apples; a chicken coop with several laying hens and plenty of feed, plenty of oil for the lamps, maybe even a milker in the barn and plenty of hay in the loft… Yea, I think that would be a nice feeling. Don’t you?
