Part 3 of the Path to Homestead series has been split between the housework in this post and the food-related work in last week’s post.

The Price We Pay: Costs Examined
As my family transitions to rural farm life, I am reexamining our budget. One major item of expenditure is the cost of health insurance.

National Health Awareness: April 2022
I am cautiously optimistic that the COVID-19 numbers are staying down in our region.

Hear Me Out – The Great Restructuring of Healthcare is Needed
The pandemic has pushed hospitals to overcapacity. This should be expected with previous typical numbers of admission for normal ailments but became accentuated early in the pandemic with the additional COVID-19 patients. The response then was to publicly praise the heroes who were putting themselves in harm’s way to care for these patients. When youContinue reading “Hear Me Out – The Great Restructuring of Healthcare is Needed”
