This week I shared some tips on starting a homestead orchard. In previous homes we've had apple and cherry trees, and there's nothing better than going out to pick fruit fresh from your own trees. When we moved to Oak Hill, we started planting our little orchard right away. We try to plant a new tree every year.

Because it's spring and tornado season is predicted to begin early this year, I also talked about how we prepare for tornado season. I'd love to know what you keep in your storm shelter if you have one, or if you shelter in a basement or other place. Please share!
