Rachael tries to farm five acres with her husband and three children in the northeast corner of Vermont. While she digs garden paths, clears fenceline, tends the cows and chickens, and accidentally kills tomatoes, she thinks of all the interesting things she should write down when she gets into the house. Just as she is dozing off over a really good book, she remembers there was something she wanted to say. Sometimes she manages to dredge it up, record and post it at nekhomeinstead.blogspot.com.
