Blog re-evaluation
Anna and I talked about the
future of the Walden Effect blog this weekend and have decided to take
a blogging vacation to
to decide if we have enough homesteading activities going on to keep
the blog alive.

About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

Although I fully understand wanting to not HAVE to write something each day, I certainly will miss my bedtime reading!!!
Love to both of you.

I've always enjoyed this site as an escape from from political/twitter feeds. If it's to be less a once a week - perhaps a bit more on the one, including video. I enjoy "process" how one overcomes/fixes/finds the way whether garden/tools/repairs.
good luck!
Your blog has been your sharing, and I really love all the variety, esp. the problem-solving ones (with Roland's answers!) but also the good photos. I can see you are less dependent now on the blog, yourselves. I think keeping your hand in, with weekly, or even bi-weekly blogs, which wd of course be less spontaneous, might be useful for both you and your readers, esp. with the plant-starting indoors season coming up. Your planting and home-improvement facets are the comfort zone, for me. But I think your own needs should come first. Since I really don't know the problems of maintaining a blog, maybe before you do leave for good, if you do, you could share some of this? That is, how you have developed a blog. This might be very useful for even HS students
When there are life-changes, I always think of Dylan Thomas' Farewell to the long-legged BAIT"--yes, your blog has been a bait! If you have to release it, we can still check back...!love, mom
Hi Anna,
Perhaps it could become an open place where anyone can share their growing tips? without the usual commercial harassment.

I hope you both have a very happy holiday.

I learned and tiptoed through chicken keeping, goat keeping, garden growing etc thru you. I miss your posts but understand the reasons......I hope you are well but miss you........
