Blogger at Common Sense Home (http://www.commonsensehome.com/), where I provide education on subjects such as: gardening, herbalism, natural healing, self-sufficiency, cooking, fermenting, food preservation, renewable energy and whatever else grabs my attention. My goals are to make complex information understandable to the layperson, to challenge people to think in new ways, and to motivate individuals to take a more active role in their health, food production and general well-being. We homestead on 35 acres in the country, where we built our green dream home in 2005. Tours available by request. Home is Wisconsin Green Built and Focus on Energy certified.

We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.
