		<description><![CDATA[ Several months ago, someone apparently drove down our road when it was wet. They slipped a bit when crossing our biggest wash and dug a wheel rut. That one rut was all that was needed to create a deep gash. When heavy rains came, they dug the rut deep. 
I&#8217;m now in the process [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In one of my earlier writings, I mentioned several challenges we&#8217;ve had with trying to grow food in the desert. One of the most frustrating in our first year here has been the critters. We have bunny rabbits that run around, I&#8217;ve seen at least one jack rabbit, and we have ground squirrels too.

		<description><![CDATA[
My parents in law got me a pressure canner for Christmas and yesterday I canned beans. I have to say I am now hopelessly hooked and in love!
I&#8217;ve never seen anyone use a pressure canner before and never used one myself either, but I&#8217;ve been studying for months and the instructions that came with my [...]]]></description>

Just a brief pic to show our new little &#8220;house&#8221; &#8212; aka camper  
The cargo trailer made a good bed but didn&#8217;t provide for much else and long term it became problematic. Way too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter.
This camper is a bit bigger, has a kitchen and storage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been living on the land now for five and a half months, and I quickly discovered growing food was going to be one of my biggest challenges in this adventure. The soil is viable and things grow just fine, but there are a number of critters that want the food just as much as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So far I&#8217;m not getting anywhere with my attempts to blog from Windows Mobile. I&#8217;ve tried the default Opera mobile browser but it chokes when I try to insert images into posts. The wp phone mobile plugin doesn&#8217;t offer images as an option anywhere in it, and the TBlogger mobile app doesn&#8217;t seem to ever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t care for the idea of RV parks. I&#8217;ve lived in mobile home parks before, and it&#8217;s not too fun having your house squeezed into a tiny space between two others. I&#8217;m not a fan of apartment living either, and mobile home parks are a bit too much like apartments for my taste. Unfortunately [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In June 2009, my husband and I became empty nesters. Other than our 60 lb dog &#8220;Onyx&#8221; &#8211; he&#8217;s a lot like having a perpetual 2 year old in tow &#8211; we no longer have children living with us.
We decided to do something quite different for us once the kids were grown and gone. We&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>
