Hi Hoosier Girl! Let's see...
De buys the bleach, but not THAT often.
2 slow cookers in our kitchen.
Only 1 or 2 days (at the most) days between 'town days'. When we go its usually 1 per day, EXCEPT major homestead project days usually require 2 trips and car fixing days sometimes take 3 trips (grrr!). I work 'in town' so I'm not counting those trips.
Many dozens of canning jars, no butcher kits (yet), no incubators, and seed starters are in the shed.
6 pairs of boots in the entryway, including the ones for the 2 granddaughters. At least 3 more in the closet.
2 sets of Carhart bibs in the closet.
I think there or 3 or 4 vinegar bottles in the pantry, but there are another 3 or 4 around the house for cleaning.
We have dozens of egg cartons. We have 13 laying hens and get between 8 and 12 eggs a day. Friends save them for us, so we usually have way more than we need.
I think most 'normal' families like their 'normal' lives. We like the homesteading life, so I guess that places us among the ranks of the 'abnormal'. We're ok with that! God Bless!
I resist going to town at all unless called in for work. I think my longest stretch without going into town was 15 days where I didn't even leave my own property. I finally left to pick up a bunch of RR ties at the lumber place to finish a project.
I live in a city, so it's all relative...
Egg cartons are feast or famine around here!
It's funny- when I NEED to go I don't want to. But if I'm getting lonely I'll make up any old excuse to get around people.
A lot of my relatives live in the city...some normal, some not so much :)
