Living a life full of adventure is important to us! We’re never bored on the homestead… too busy to be bored! This category is a hodgepodge of life! From projects on the homestead, family, and amazing discoveries right here on Kowalski Mountain.
As I have endeavored to improve the Kowalski Mountain website, I took a leap of faith and invested in a blogging course earlier this year. While I know I have a long way to go, I have learned so much and have worked so hard to improve our online presence at kowalskimountain.com. One of the greatest…
Hunting is a big part of the self-sustainable life we are creating here at Kowalski Mountain. While not all homesteaders hunt, it’s an important aspect that Philip and I enjoy. In the summer, deer can range over 500 acres of habitat. In the rut season, bucks may increase their range to as much as 800…
On our recent trip to Kentucky, we took our kids and grandson to a local orchard to enjoy some apple picking. Before we came to Kentucky, I pulled the needed canning supplies and spices to make salsa, applesauce, and apple cider with my daughter, Faith Hardy, and my daughter-in-law, Jess Kowalski. While I knew that…
As the 100th post on Kowalskimountain.com quickly approached, I pondered what I could write about that might be extra special to celebrate this exciting milestone. Then I stumbled upon some photographs taken in 2016 when Philip walked the property for the very first time. I knew we needed to take a look back to where…
As we look forward to upcoming projects, we are trying to wrap up a few projects that are in progress. Since Kowalski Mountain is built-in workcations, it seems like there is always a lingering project that needs completion. The two big projects we must wrap up are the barn and the bathhouse. While the barn…
September marks the beginning of deer hunting season in Kentucky, with the opening of archery season, a Labor Day tradition. It’s Philip’s favorite time of year, the crisp cool air, the changing of the leaves, and hunting season! While the work on the homestead never ends, it does take a different direction during hunting season….
Philip and I travel frequently to Kowalski Mountain. While we do have an RV in place, there is still a degree of planning necessary for our trips. Philip usually handles preparations for work projects. He ensures we have the tools and supplies we need to accomplish the tasks we intend to complete while we are…
Preserving food on the homestead can be a full-time job! We are not to the point of producing all our own food or even a big portion of it, but we are headed that way. Our goal while we live in Florida prior to full-time living on the homestead is to use this time as…
It’s summertime in Florida, and finally, it’s scalloping season again! Scalloping is hands down one of my most favorite Florida activities. I love the entire process! The ride out on Crystal River is picturesque, it’s what I refer to as “old Florida”. Hours of swimming in the clear, shallow water. The saltwater makes me feel…
Welcome to the July 2021 Workcation series. The seventh and final post in the Workcation Series is a labor of love, we planted additional fruit trees on Kowalski Mountain. If you missed the overview post, about all the tasks we completed during our July Workcation you can find it here. I’ll link all the posts…
