Pastoral Life Step by Step

A PASTORAL LIFE STEP BY STEP: Sharing articles culled from magazines over the course of many years in anticipation of living a self-sustainable life in the country. It isn't self-sustainable but it sure has been fun! I hope you find something useful, interesting or tempting!

FYI

These articles are in no particular order ... I'm just working my way down the stack. If I took the time to put them in seasonal order, I'd never get around to it!

The articles can be viewed better by clicking on the photo. If anyone wants a copy of a particular article, let me know and I'll be happy to send you a paper copy.

Articles to Share

We collected these articles before we even moved here ... scouring rural magazines for articles of interest, things to do, build, raise, you name it, we read it! I had actually forgotten about these articles until I found them in the back of a desk drawer recently while looking for other things and it brought back a flood of memories and high hopes. They aren't doing any good in the back of a desk drawer so I'm posting them here in the hopes that someone will get hooked on a new project!
