I really miss raising animals, having a garden and the serenity that comes from the country life. I never thought I'd be raising my boys in the city, it was never in my plan. I hope one day to be able to take my family out of the city and enjoy the blessings that come from working together side by side. I pray that the day will come soon, but until then I will read blogs like yours that keep me connected to my roots and keep me on the path to my goal. Thank you. May you and your family continue to be blessed as you bless the lives of others. PS...the "simple" life people refer to IMO is not that it will be "easy" but simplified from the complications of the world, like exposure to liberal imagery, overexposure to technology...The Farmer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456472477151411552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-68834938059904268362011-05-18T16:46:20.600-07:002011-05-18T16:46:20.600-07:00There may be more truth to that joke than I care t...There may be more truth to that joke than I care to think about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-16976177350987688442011-05-12T13:05:12.899-07:002011-05-12T13:05:12.899-07:00Looks like you really enjoyed yourselves.

Checking pasture fences (and the finally growing grass)and cleaning. Even our Jersey cow, Miss Tilly got in on it yesterday and presented us with a beautiful purebred heifer calf 5 days early! Okay, so we had to stop everything and oogle the new arrival, Fiona. We weren't quite ready, but she was!<br />PaintedmooseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-75219012998497807932011-05-12T08:27:20.688-07:002011-05-12T08:27:20.688-07:00I know it's kind of silly, but I love how you ...I know it's kind of silly, but I love how you refer to Thor and Polly.
