“Don’t throw those potato peals away! I’m going to throw those in the compost/to the chickens!”

“Honey, have you seen my apron? No, not my cooking apron, my outside apron..”

“Don’t burn those leaves! I want them for my compost!”

“I swear, these plants were on sale! I had to get them! They would have died without me!”

‘I’ll only buy one plant.. Ohh, but then I need two for cross pollination! And then maybe another one, just so that we have enough for canning. Ohh, but that leaves the store with only one, and I can’t leave just one!”

“You can never have enough chickens!”

“Honey, the neighbor wants to know if we need a bunny. Their dog tried to kill it and we could use some bunnies, right?”

“Oh my god, honey! Come look! There’s another leaf growing on the tomato plant I just planted!”

“I can’t do laundry hun, it’s raining.. Yes I know we have a dryer, but the clothesline is better!”

“Hey, I just picked some berries from the bush, do you want some?”

“I know you just sat down, but the goat got out again and I need your help getting it back in the pen.”

“Look honey! I just bartered some chicken eggs for some jam from our neighbor!”

“Hey hun, do you feel like baking some more bread? I just ate the last of it..”

“I just found a bunch of free wood on Facebook Marketplace, should I get it?”

“Well, I can’t remember what I planted here, but it’s growing great!”

“I know it’s 100 degrees outside sweety, but I’m going to start a fire anyways..”

“This Christmas, everyone is getting homemade gifts from the homestead.”

“Finally, a winter day where I can sit down and relax. What do you mean I have to shovel and feed the animals!?”

“On a scale from 1-10, how important is it that I mow the grass today?”

“”Did you seriously use one of my good pots to make your candles in?!”

“Honey, I need room to cook in this kitchen! Can you please move your seed starts somewhere else?”
