Life In The Country 2022

Number Two Son borrowed my car to visit Number One Son, so I drove Whoa Nelly to school.

I love country living where a ’52 International truck creates a delightful ‘ruckus’ in parking lots.

Another country living site is the beef jerky vending machine, which always makes me laugh out loud. (For the record this is high quality stuff from the butcher in the next town).

Glory Farm was recently full of cousins. Sharing life together in times of healing and planning the next steps in life is the greatest gift we can offer. (I just wish one of them would have told me we were wearing plaid.)

The Prom is ‘over’. Justin is a happy bull, but it is time for him to go to the Prom up the hill.

Then there are our free range chickens…. the time and tricks I’ve used to try and keep them out of my flower garden are immeasurable.

A few of the things that do not work…small fencing, water, screaming at them (well, this works for a little while) just to name a few. With 4 acres to roam, they pick the one place we don’t want them. Until now..

I was encouraged to try it as the fine print says it repels birds and crows, hmmm, that made me shake my head a bit. It smells like garlic, so we’re currently free of vampires as well and our personal favorite (read the fine print) armadillos.

Yes, we are blessed.
