The content you’re looking for is no longer here. We’re finally beginning to shut this blog down, to remove old content.
We’ve chosen to start with essays that are available elsewhere. Specifically, this article has been edited into our eBook, More Calories Than Cash: Frugality the Zeiger Homestead Way. It contains edited, improved, and expanded versions of essays that used to be available for free on this blog, and new material as well. You can learn more about it, and order it here.
Tuesday morning, movement in the dooryard caught my eye. I stared, dumbfounded, as a red squirrel ran across the yard with a large black rectangle attached to its face.
The squirrel, carrying one of our plastic mouse traps in its teeth, ran pell mell for the darkness under the cabin.
The subject of body cams comes up in the news often these days. I’d love to wear something like that so that we could document some of the weird things that happen around here. I had no time to grab a camera, instead we tore outside to scare the squirrel into dropping the trap before it disappeared.
