In May the corn pops up and the irises bloom. The stores are full of Memorial Day flowers and picnic supplies. The schools are starting to wind down and students are looking forward to the pools opening and summer jobs. We have a lot of state parks and the campground reservations are starting to fill up. Weekends bring the sounds of freshly tuned lawnmowers and motorcycles. House windows are open day and night.
May 3 is our primary election day and this year the world's eyes are on Indiana. It's kind of exciting being the center of attention but I will be glad when it's over. I won't politicize my blog. But I will say the state of our country has me glad that I have started on this path of homesteading. I feel more connected to our land and better able to take care of myself if times get hard.
