I think you are right - from Pinterest. I think it's one of the few places where you see your results immediately and you can't make any excuses for your failures.. and you can barely take credit for your successes.

They come in summertime often thinking the country must be very relaxing, so they brings their tent and kids. Some don't even bring lunches they seems to think there's a shopping mall around; they do only the first time ahaha!<br />Really as i explain this summer to a friend that country is a way of living, a choice we've made but it's not like the romantic idea of life in the countryside; like the one she seems to think it is, i mean country and farming is not a Pinterest board with all those pretty farmhouse decor! Those friends we're thinking about living around, and after the little discussion we had on country reality vs country dreaming, they decide that was not for them, too much to do and city is too far.<br />It's raw life as i would call it, you do something you have something. Real life.<br /><br />I'm new around first time but not last! <br /><br />Malvina Girl Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-33745503148009072992013-06-22T06:51:33.592-04:002013-06-22T06:51:33.592-04:00I don't know how I missed this post until just...I don't know how I missed this post until just now, I LOVE it! especially the one about getting a job so you don't have to grow your own :) I laugh when people say our farm life must be idyllic, its hard hard work, but the food is the best reward, you can't buy food this good!

It is so true! While feeding the cows, the pto goes out of the tractor yesterday, so we have to switch back to the tractor that the radiator is out of an put some coolant in and cross our fingers it holds so we don't break down and get mobbed by the cows. Then we find out that we have a wolf leading a pack of coyotes that has been harassing the cow/calf pairs, that then, at 2 am thunder up and down the draw, bawling right next to the house causing it to shake! It certainly is one heck of a ride, but I love it!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404319893379326705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-80301475273854222522010-03-04T10:34:51.567-05:002010-03-04T10:34:51.567-05:00Yep, Gold Digger.

There is total chaos going on at all times. My hair isnt combed and somehow my jeans got ripped. <br />I love your blog and I can totally relate to everything you write. <br />I also get the same comments about getting a real job, or how I must have so much time on my hands etc. I'm glad to know it is not just me! ;o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-68388077791941754162010-02-25T12:16:27.563-05:002010-02-25T12:16:27.563-05:00Great work on Addison, Chai Chai!

Unless you get a blood test there isn't really a great way to tell if she is preggers until she gets closer... except that she won't be in heat. You'll know if she's in heat because she'll be acting like lovestruck teen. Nigi's come into heat about every 21-ish days. Mark your calendar and then look for ridiculous behavior. Does she have a little friend?<br />ps for some reason I can't leave a comment on your blog (I think its me!)Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-82676566251095116122010-02-24T19:52:50.763-05:002010-02-24T19:52:50.763-05:00Your goat posts convinced me that I had to have a ...Your goat posts convinced me that I had to have a dairy goat.

Love t..."Its not simpler but its better."<br />Love that quote.<br />You get to live a lot of "life" in your life when your garden, farm, and raise animals. I guess you live deeper- higher and lower. Keep on keeping on, take lots of pictures, and plan to write your book someday!<br />YardFarmer Julie<br />www.TheYardFarmers.blogspot.comDodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072864016700717630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-50727234042441504072010-02-22T17:21:26.522-05:002010-02-22T17:21:26.522-05:00Well said...
