A Mountain Hearth

Tales of Modern Homesteading and Outdoor Adventure

March 25, 2015

Spring Housekeeping

I’ve been working on some spring housekeeping and updates around here, and am pleased to announce a few new additions to the site.
You may have noticed the new banner with my photo of the Three Sisters taken near our home, and some new links underneath it where I added an “About” page, a link to my Mountain Hearth Handcrafts Etsy store, an updated reading list, a farmhouse recipes page and a hiking page with links to some of the trails I’ve written about over the years. Also, there is a set of fancy new social media buttons in the sidebar linking to Mountain Hearth Handcrafts on Facebook, and my new Instagram and Pinterest accounts, where you can connect and share creative ideas.
On another note, there was a hiccup with my Blogger comments this past month, and after wondering why no one was commenting on my posts anymore, discovered they were being sent for moderation to an old e-mail address I had closed. If you commented on posts over the last month and wondered why I didn’t respond, I am not being unfriendly, I just didn’t get them! I always enjoy reader comments, so feel free to comment away and I will always do my best to respond.
Here’s to spring housekeeping and new things beginning!

    I was so relieved when I figured it out today. I was thinking, "Man, did I say something really offensive? Was it the fruit trees?" Good to hear from you again! 🙂

Welcome

Out here in Oregon, I enjoy the rough-hewn life of a modern homesteader and mountain woman, weaving the outdoors into the fabric of daily life. Whether tending this McKenzie River homestead hearth or a campfire in the backcountry, I find great enjoyment in the work of a sustainable life. Gather around as I share my tales of outdoor adventure, conservation, restoration, land stewardship, wildcrafting, handcrafting, growing food, and keeping chickens. It is my hope to share ideas and inspiration, and strengthen connections with the land and wild places. Read More…
