The same dynamics at play in this video work on almost every scale, in practically every aspect of life. Our failings come from stopping too soon, from rejecting those around us, from waiting for better circumstances… when all we really need to do is dance.

It’s a good lesson for me, in any event.

This is one of my vlog posts from Growing Freedom, my old blog on the trials of trying to start your own sustainable garden/mini-farm with almost no personal experience.

Fortunately nothing bad happened (that we can tell, anyway). Still, it’s always fun to find things like that.

This is one of my vlog posts from Growing Freedom, my old blog on the trials of trying to start your own sustainable garden/mini-farm with almost no personal experience.

As implied, this is the third video in a series in which I desperately try to keep animals from eating my garden. I estimate, despite the fences and meshes and all the rest, that I lost about half of my food to critters.

This is one of my vlog posts from Growing Freedom, my old blog on the trials of trying to start your own sustainable garden/mini-farm with almost no personal experience.

Figuring that hand-digging was taking too much time and effort, I convince my parents to rent a rototiller for me – the results are not too surprising.

Trying to see a return on my money and time – We might not have made much, but we had bags and bags of radishes at the end. I don’t even like radishes that much.

Let’s just say that this isn’t Iowa Soil so much as Iowa Compacted Clay. It’s like trying to dig wet but setting cement. As you can see… it’s hard work.

Iowa’s Lost Prairie – Lighting My Dashboard on Fire (Video)

This video used to be the main page greeting. It wasn’t exactly the best sales pitch, but I thought it was fun.

Remember: If you’re going to do something stupid, at least make it for a good cause.
