Complete self-sufficiency is a very high standard that takes a lot of work. Reduced reliance is more doable.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11363024708939325104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190801720840766594.post-949285022223907752020-04-01T21:39:03.544-08:002020-04-01T21:39:03.544-08:00Great article Diane.

I agree that we have gotten used to our modern conveniences, but it is not as challenging as one would think. We all just need to get used to playing the "what if" game a little more often. What do you think?Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11363024708939325104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1190801720840766594.post-46725470960237674812020-03-28T23:15:27.686-08:002020-03-28T23:15:27.686-08:00Thanks for sharing this post.

My summer holidays were spent at a farm and life was simple. Of course we have our modern conveniences now and being self-sustainable might be challenging for many but it can certainly be done.
