Wade in the Water: 90 Days In — Progress is in the Process

Three months into restoring our homestead, we’re learning that real progress isn’t always visible — sometimes it’s internal. In this third blog of our 12-part series, we reflect on the evolving rhythm of work and rest, the mindset shift it’s required, and the quiet persistence it’s taking to build something sustainable. From cherry trees planted in Missouri heat to moments of intentional pause, this month is about redefining what it means to move forward.

What began with handcrafted fishing nets and wooden fly boxes is now unfolding into something deeper. We’ve stepped into a new chapter — a 5-acre homestead where craftsmanship, sustainability, and a slower rhythm guide everything we build. This is where the next phase of Cantrell Creek begins.
