This week, we have the Spring Workshop at the Holler Homestead so Living Free in Tennessee's podcasts will be all replay episodes all the time. First up this week, "Breakthroughs Happen When You Least Expect Them." It is always nice to have a reminder to make time to have the breakthroughs you need. I hope you enjoy this episode.
Today, we have an interview with a wonderful couple who are working together to build the life they want with a homesteading mentality but in an urban environment. Tom and Julie Domres of a Small Scale Life are a big part of our LFTN community and today, we get to talk about how they are accomplishing the best life they can build together.

Today, we walk through something we have never really discussed on the podcast: Easy to Bake Bread via a process I learned from Geraldine Duncan - one of my early in life influencers and inspirers - the lady who showed me not to fear taking on big tasks in the kitchen.
We will also walk through some homestead hijinks as this week has been crazy and when it is crazy on the homestead, your animals can sense something is up and I SWEAR they become crazy themselves. Or spring is in the air - either way.

Today is Friday so we have a Thought of the Walk episode. This is a short show where I talk through an idea I had while walking with my dogs, or sitting around the fire. American ingenuity is one thing that has made our economy grow despite all the fetters instilled upon it by government. It has lead to breakthroughs. But are we losing it?

And you know what Wednesday - er I mean Thursday means: We have a homestead focused episode today and I thought it was about time to have the second in our cheese series. Why? Because last week, I was on the road and one of my favorite things to do to eat well is to make a plate with veggies, pickled things hard yummy cheeses and meats in place of a heavy dinner meal. This is even more fun when you can grab a nice cheddar you have been aging and add some slices of that to the mix.

Today we have a replay episode. The cement pad has been poured and people are still on site putting in the final touches on it and I am just dying to have a DANCE PARTY. But the episode on making hard cheeses is a bit much to jump into at this late hour, so I bring you a replay of an episode from one year ago. We were getting ready for the first spring workshop ever. I got completely publicly reamed by someone in a board meeting in a very inappropriate way. And it got me to thinking about ways to deescalate tense situations. Something we can all use a reminder about, right?
SO, enjoy the episode formerly knows as 76.

Today we have an update from the Holler Homestead on how things are progressing here. The first quarter is over and it is a good time to assess how 2019 plan is unraveling, look over the land before things get too overgrown, and make sure our focus is in the right place for long term success. So I will walk through the coffee, the podcast, the consulting and the paper - as well as check in on the progress of our developing homestead.
