Brief thoughts on a homestead winter

This isn't a very active time of the year as far as survivalist stuff goes, but at the same time it is more survival now than any other time. Winter is the time to hole up, food is stored away and preserved, work is done. Winter becomes a time for introspection. Which is extremely survival related because introspection and self awareness are critical to becoming and remaining a functional and moral human on this planet of ours. It's also a time for planning. My plans are made. Now.........I wait. For the ground to thaw and the world to be green again. One more month until it's seedling time.
