On top all this I keep hearing about "ramps and fiddleheads",neither of which I have had before and really want to try.And thank God for rainy days so I can get back inside and finish the bathroom I'm trying to put in the basement!
I like metal detecting when I have time,Hunting squirrel ,rabbit ,quail,dove ,goose and deer.
You know I have to dig some Ginseng and yellowroot,And there's a trap line to run and putting up furs.And that comes in the later part of the canning season!Hopefully I've killed enough fish to make my own fish oil for trapping,and I love to throw a game of horseshoes and play pool when I can.
So how do you find time to take care of the chickens,beekeeping,composting, and other homesteading things let alone going out to make a living?
Seems the older I get the more interests I have and the less time to participate in them!
Do y'all do this too or is it just me?

Have enough to do if one thing gets boring can drop it for something else that needs done.
