We have found a place to be! Working the land at someone else's place. We get housing. We don't own the land. But we get to live there. The guy who owns it has the facilities and the money and we have the labor, time, and knowledge. I guess what we are doing is modern day sharecropping or tenant farming. I guess a 21st century buzzword for "tenant farmer" could be "site-based horticultural and livestock management consultant" :D
I get to drive the ATV around to take feed to the goats and pigs. I have planted strawberries,maters,beans, melons, gourds, and squash. Driving the ATV kicks butt I love it!!!
Our new place is in northern PA. I love the summer climate. They said if it got over 90 it is a major heat wave. I will have to prepare for winter though. They have this weird thing called "snow" here.:)
I thought I would not fit in here. But there are just as many rednecks here as in the south. Lots of pickups and country music. No one seems to mind that I am technically from the "land of the enemy":) But I don't think people up here pay as much attention to that. As Shelby Foote (God rest him) said "Southerners are very strange about that war."
Anyway I am just happy to have dirt under my feet again instead of concrete. also near our place is a place where you can get on the computers for a couple bucks an hour so I should be able to post more often.
hugs!!!!
