More Memories Worth Remembering: Along the Banks of Blair's Creek
No Customer Reviews
Residing in a small, two room cabin void of any form of running water or electricity aside from a generator to run the wringer washers, Amanda and her husband Doug take on a homesteading life off the grid. During the evenings oil lamps are used for lighting and the wood cook stove is used for all cooking and heating. Drinking water is taken from a year-round spring and carried across the creek to the cabin. Every other drop of water has to be hauled up from the creek or collected when it rains for laundry, washing, baths and watering the garden. Amanda had both children at home with Doug's assistance. Most produce harvested from the garden is canned to help feed the family through the winter along with deer meat taken during the season and tapping maple trees for syrup. Snakes, cougars, huge spiders, wet firewood, intruding bats, biting insects, relentless dirt, dust and spider webs in the cabin, flooded creeks, unwelcomed hound dogs, the lack of a vehicle, and countless other challenges are faced with unyielding determination.
