Hi! I’m Merryrose!
I’ve longed for the country my whole life but Providence has me in the city. But that doesn’t keep us from homesteading to the best of our ability and living in a more simple and sustainable way. Join us on our adventures here at the Harperstead as we work to bloom where we are planted . And plant lots of sunflowers along the way. And cornflowers… I love cornflowers.. 🙂

It doesn’t have to be perfect! Start learning and start where you are!
