Hi, It has been awhile since I have been on here! February 2016 seems to have been my last posts. My life went through a lot of changes since I was here last. I became a widow after my husband took his life in summer 2016. It was a dramatic traumatic time there. Took me a long time to come back out of the fog. We sold our cows to make ends meet, as we did not find his remains until the following Spring. Spring of last year I sold our home (to get away from memories as well as my late husbands family who had nothing to do with us, but to flick pain our way) I bought a beautiful piece of land with a 40 yr old home on it. 10 1/2 acres that has not been used for farm animals since about 1983. It has a beautiful 3 acre pasture with some more land that can be worked into a pasture with time. I have a year around creek and also a beautiful view of open farm land to my north to watch the rolling thunderstorms. I purchased a Jersey Heifer in the fall along with some other misfit animals Some sheep and goats. I have been in full time college for the last 2 years as well as I am starting a new job this week doing remote customer service for Meyer hatchery. I got my dream!! a job from home!! My college is on marketing/business management so I am going to be utilizing some of my schooling. My dream was to get a job that I could do from home I am going to enjoy my new job as well as continue to sharpen my marketing skills and work on building up my own small business of doing QuickBooks for local small businesses. I want to continue living out my homesteading dreams I am past the storm and just looking forward towards continually improving my life and enjoying every bit of it! Got my Jersey girl again to work on my milk, cheese and yogurt. My sheep for fiber. Still have my chickens for eggs and I have also gotten into beekeeping for honey, wax and such. AnywaYS, IM BACK!
