As you stand at the sink washing dishes for the third time today, your hands move almost without thinking, and your mind drifts. It drifts to the homestead you’ve been dreaming about starting with your family this year. You can see it so clearly—the chicken coop you and your husband built together, chickens scratching and pecking at the ground, a goat calling softly to her baby, and a jar of sourdough bubbling on the counter beside you. For a moment, it feels complete. Peacef
