Ormen villa - Marle feeds

Everyday, I log the activities I engage in to make my home - Ormen villa - a productive space. I have been wondering whether this should be kept undercover or shall I share it in order to help others in their homesteading activities.

Well, i am keeping it as it is. What matter is what I feed you with a blog post at the time. What do you reckon? Leave some comments to let me know your thoughts on this move. Merci xo
