Maaliskuu tuo jo lupauksen kev\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4. S\u00e4\u00e4 on muuttunut kosteammaksi, lumi raskaammaksi ja aamut valoisammiksi. Omavaraistelijoiden maaliskuun aiheena on ihmiset ja el\u00e4m\u00e4 omavaraistelun n\u00e4k\u00f6kulmasta ja mik\u00e4 siin\u00e4 on parasta. Helmikuun postauksessa mainitsin ohimennen ett\u00e4 itselleni oikeastaan parasta omavaraistelussa on yhteis\u00f6. Te ihmiset siell\u00e4 ruudun toisella puolella. Kaikki ne ihanat instagrammaajat, bloggarit ja tubettajat, jotka jaksavat jakaa omia vinkkej\u00e4\u00e4n ja antavat inspiraatiota meille muille, sek\u00e4 tietysti kaikki blogin lukijat ja instan seuraajat. Se itsell\u00e4nikin on yhten\u00e4 vahvimpana inspiraationa blogin kirjoittamiseen, omien kokemusten jakaminen, vinkkien antaminen sek\u00e4 ihan yleinen into ja ilo tehd\u00e4. Omavaraistelijoiden #suuntanaomavaraisuus postauksia luotsaavat Sari (Tsajut<\/a>) ja Heikki (Korkeala<\/a>). Muiden blogien linkit l\u00f6yd\u00e4t t\u00e4st\u00e4 alta.

Olen muutamia kertoja maininnut ett\u00e4 vaikka emme asukaan kyl\u00e4n keskustassa, meill\u00e4 on t\u00e4ss\u00e4 naapurustossa pieni mukava muutaman talon pienyhteis\u00f6. Osa taloista on kes\u00e4asuntoina, mutta muutamassa talossa on ymp\u00e4rivuotisia asukkaita. Olemme tutustuneet muutamien naapureiden kanssa ja annamme naapuriapua puolin ja toisin. Olemme is\u00e4nn\u00e4n kanssa ottaneet tavaksi pit\u00e4\u00e4 pihatiemme v\u00e4litt\u00f6m\u00e4ss\u00e4 l\u00e4heisyydess\u00e4 olevien kaikkien naapuruston postilaatikoiden osuuden lumesta aurattuna ja er\u00e4\u00e4n naapurin pihatiet\u00e4 yrit\u00e4mme pit\u00e4\u00e4 avoinna aina kun mahdollista, sill\u00e4 he eiv\u00e4t ole jatkuvasti paikalla voidakseen tehd\u00e4 sit\u00e4 itse. Olen my\u00f6s tehnyt naapurille pieni\u00e4 korjausompeluita tai vienyt ker\u00e4\u00e4mi\u00e4ni sieni\u00e4, jos on tullut ker\u00e4tty\u00e4 omaa tarvetta enemm\u00e4n. Vastaavasti olemme saaneet naapureilta ker\u00e4t\u00e4 omenia ja vadelmia ja saanut heilt\u00e4 j\u00e4tevillaa puutarhan maanparannukseen. Naapuriapu nousi arvoon arvaamattomaan juuri t\u00e4ll\u00e4 viikolla kun pakastimemme p\u00e4\u00e4tti alkaa temppuilla. Saimme vied\u00e4 osan pakasteistamme naapurin isoon pakastimeen. Omavaraistelijalle pakastimen rikkoutuminen on todella kurja juttu, n\u00e4in kev\u00e4ttalvella siell\u00e4 on viel\u00e4 paljon satoa s\u00e4il\u00f6ss\u00e4 sek\u00e4 tietysti osa normaalista kotivarasta. T\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa siell\u00e4 oli my\u00f6s osa \u00e4itini pakastimesta tuoduista marjoista ja mehuista, kuten herkullista \u00e4idin tekem\u00e4\u00e4n pihlajanlehtijuomaa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaikki n\u00e4m\u00e4 tehd\u00e4\u00e4n omasta vapaasta halusta, vastikkeetta. Ja se siin\u00e4 onkin parasta. Teemme naapurien iloksi jotakin pient\u00e4 silloin kun se meille sopii, ja he tekev\u00e4t jotakin meille silloin kun siihen l\u00f6ytyy tilaisuus. Onneksemme kaikki naapurit ovat hirve\u00e4n leppoisia ja mukavia. Heid\u00e4n kanssaan on helppo tulla toimeen. Olemme talon ostettuamme olleet sen suhteen eritt\u00e4in onnekkaita, sill\u00e4 samaa ei valitettavasti ole voinut sanoa kaikissa aiemmissa asuinpaikoissamme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e4k\u00f6et\u00e4isyydell\u00e4 toisistaan sijaitsevissa taloissa on muutakin etua, ne nimitt\u00e4in antavat turvaa. Vaikka haluaisin uskoa meid\u00e4n el\u00e4v\u00e4n edelleen lapsuuteni lintukodossa, fakta on ett\u00e4 my\u00f6s meid\u00e4n alueellamme on vieraillut pitk\u00e4kyntisi\u00e4, jopa keskell\u00e4 kirkasta p\u00e4iv\u00e4\u00e4. Kotitiemme varrelta on joistakin kauimmaisista taloista k\u00e4yty omin luvin ottamassa arvotavaraa kuten kalliita ty\u00f6kaluja. Naapuritalojen l\u00e4heisyys auttaa pit\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n silm\u00e4ll\u00e4 aluetta ja informoimaan muita, mik\u00e4li h\u00e4m\u00e4r\u00e4per\u00e4ist\u00e4 liikett\u00e4 havaitaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yleisesti ottaen koko kyl\u00e4yhteis\u00f6 on ottanut meid\u00e4t vastaan hyvin. Vaikka toisaalta viihdyinkin kaupungissa ja er\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 tavalla nautin suurien ihmism\u00e4\u00e4rien tuomasta anonymiteetist\u00e4, maalla, pieness\u00e4 kyl\u00e4ss\u00e4, asuminen on kuitenkin enemm\u00e4n minun juttuni. Ihmiset ovat kohteliaita, ohikulkijoille morjestetaan, vaikka heit\u00e4 ei tunnettaisikaan, ja kaupassa myyj\u00e4 saattaa kysy\u00e4 mist\u00e4 olen hankkinut kauniin takkini tai mit\u00e4 aion tehd\u00e4 viikonloppuna. Kyl\u00e4l\u00e4iset kokevat er\u00e4\u00e4nlaista yhteenkuuluvuuden tunnetta, vaikka eiv\u00e4t varsinaisesti tuntisikaan toisiaan. Se on v\u00e4h\u00e4n sama juttu kuin insta-tilej\u00e4 tai blogeja seuratessa, kokee jotenkin tuntevansa sen henkil\u00f6n jota seuraa, vaikka ei ole koskaan tavannut. Kun samoja kasvoja n\u00e4kee kaupassa ja kyl\u00e4nraitilla, kokee jotenkin tuntevansa heid\u00e4t vaikka ei tiet\u00e4isi edes heid\u00e4n nime\u00e4\u00e4n. Toki minua saatetaan t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 pit\u00e4\u00e4 omituisena ja kyl\u00e4l\u00e4iset saattavat “tiet\u00e4\u00e4” asiani paremmin kuin min\u00e4 itse, mutta en ole koskaan antanut sen h\u00e4irit\u00e4 el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4ni. Onneksi kukaan t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 ei ole ainakaan t\u00e4h\u00e4n menness\u00e4 n\u00e4hnyt asiakseen tulla neuvomaan miten minun ja meid\u00e4n tulisi el\u00e4\u00e4 el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4mme, vaan olemme saaneet olla ja el\u00e4\u00e4 t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 omana itsen\u00e4mme. Koen ett\u00e4 talon ostaminen ja maalle muuttaminen, juuri t\u00e4h\u00e4n kyl\u00e4\u00e4n ja kyl\u00e4yhteis\u00f6\u00f6n on ollut yksi merkitt\u00e4vimpi\u00e4 aikuisen el\u00e4m\u00e4ni p\u00e4\u00e4t\u00f6ksi\u00e4 ja tuonut el\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n paljon lis\u00e4\u00e4 sis\u00e4lt\u00f6\u00e4 ja onnellisuutta. Siit\u00e4kin huolimatta ett\u00e4 vanhassa talossa on aina omat kommervenkkins\u00e4 ja pulmansa. <\/p>\n\n\n

March is bringing the promise of spring. Weather has turned into more damp, snow has turned more heavy and mornings have more daylight. March theme on #selfsufficient bloggers is people and life in general on the perspective of self-sufficiency, and what is the best at it. On the February post I already shortly mentioned that to me the best part is actually the community. All you people on the other end of the internet. All wonderfull instagrammers, bloggers and youtubers, who share their knowledge and tips to us and are the never-ending inspiration to others and of course all the blog readers and insta followers. This is one of the strongers inspiration for me to write this blog, sharing all my experiences, knowledge, tips and enthusiasm and joy to make things. Our posts are hosted by Sari (Tsajut<\/a>) and Heikki (Korkeala<\/a>). You will find links to other posts below. Post continues after the links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have mentioned couple times that even though we don’t live in the village center, we have lovely little community of people here. Some of the houses nearby are just summer houses, but some of them have permanent residents. We have got to know some of our neighbours and are both giving and received neighbourly help. Me and hubby have taken the habbit of plowing the snow from all the postboxes, which are nearby our yard entry. We also try to keep one of our neighbours driveway entrance clear from snow, because they aren’t always here to do it themselves. I have made some repair sewing to our neighbours or given them mushrooms if I have picked more than our own use. We have been allowed to pick apples and raspberries from neighbours and they have given us some waste wool for garden improvement. Neighbour help became really invaluable just this week when our freezer started acting up. Thankfully we were able to take some of our frozen food temporarily into neighbours large freezer. It is a bit of a catastrophy for self-sufficiency household when freezer breaks. Around this time of year there is still plenty of last years harvest left in the freezer, and of course some of our usual weekly\/monthly food supply. This time there was also some berries and juices which I brought over from mums freezer, like the delicious rowan leaft drink which mum made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are doing all this on our free will, without expectation of compensation. That is the best part of it. We are doing something to make neighbours happy and their life easier and vice versa, when they have the chance. Thankfully all of our neighbours are very laidback and nice people. They are easy to get along with. We were extremely lucky on that perspective, when we bought this house. Unfortunately we can’t say the same on all of our previous neighbours in our old homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also other benefits on houses so nearby each other. When you can see the neighbours house from your yard, it also provides security. Even though I would like to believe that in Finland we still live in the paradise-like safe haven, like it was when I was a kid, the ugly truth is that even our neighbourhood is getting more and more unsafe. There has been thefts on our home street, even in broad daylight. Valuable things, like expensive tools, have been stolen from some of our neighbours further down the road. Close proximity of neighbours helps us to keep on eye on their homes and inform them in case of unwanted activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, whole of this small village community has been very welcoming. Even though I did like living in town and somewhat enjoyed the certain anonymity among large masses of people, living in small village is more my thing. People are polite, they wave at you when going past, even if they don’t know you. In the local shops staff might ask were you got that lovely coat, or what are your weekend plans etc. Villagers seem to have some soft of feeling of togetherness, even though they don’t really know each other that well. It is similar feeling what you get when you follow your favourite insta-account or blog or youtube channel. You feel like you know those people, even though you have never met them. When you see same faces every day on the streets or in the shops, you feel like you know them, even though you might not even know their name. I have to admit that villagers might think I’m weird or thei might “now” my business better than I do, but I never let that bother me. Thankfully no-one so far has felt the need to tell us how to live our life. We have been able to live our lives the way we want, as our true selves. I feel that buying this house and moving to countryside, to this particular village and community has been one of the most significant decisions of my adult life and has brought much more content and happyness to my life. Even despite of the fact that old houses always have their quirky little features and problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naapurilta ker\u00e4ttyj\u00e4 herkullisia omenia. Heill\u00e4 on useita puita joissa on ajoittain ylituotantoa joten olen saanut ker\u00e4t\u00e4 niit\u00e4 aina halutessani. Omenoista olen jalostanut kuivattuja omenasiivuja tai puristuttanut tuoremehua. \/
Delicious apples which I got from our neighbour. They have several trees which give plenty of harvest, sometimes too much. They let us pick them when ever we like. I have made dried apple slices and have fresh apple juice made. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Paikallisilta asukkailta olen saanut mm. t\u00e4m\u00e4n punav\u00e4rimintun ja arovuokon. Itse olen antanut eteenp\u00e4in mm. isot\u00f6yht\u00f6angervon ja siperiankurjenmiekan juurakoita. \/
I have received from locals for example this crimson beebalm and anemone sylvestris. I have handed out roots for siberian iris and buck’s-beard.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Kun pakastin temppuilee, juodaan pakastemehut, tehd\u00e4\u00e4n marjapuuroa ja marjaisia j\u00e4lkiruokia, sy\u00f6d\u00e4\u00e4n pakasteruokaa ja vied\u00e4\u00e4n loput naapurin isoon pakastimeen v\u00e4liaikaiss\u00e4il\u00f6\u00f6n. Tulipahan pitk\u00e4st\u00e4 aikaa samalla siivottuakin se pakastin.\/
When freezer starts acting up, only thing to do is to drink your frozen juices, make berry porridge and berry treats, eat frozen food and take rest of the stuff temporarily into neighbours large freezer. Atleast we now finally managed to tidy up the freezer at the same time. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
