RE: Does Anyone Like Thorn Trees
Well done @francisk!!! Well done!!!
(I promise that I won't make another video...but I am proud of you.) :)
I can't get over the size of those thorns and that they can fall off. I get the whole dragging behind the truck thing, knocking them off but didn't realize that it's easy for the them to break off, too. We have thorn trees where I live but they are more shrubs than actually trees and the thorns are a lot smaller.
Rebecca, Rebecca. Oh soul of mine. How could I do "Without You?" You brighten my day each time I see your comments and reply.
Just say, "oh Francis. I looked out the window today." I would say to others. "She is the wisest woman that I know of." How is that for dedication?
I am happy that the numbers have went up for me. Thank you so much. "Without you." Where would I be?
Oh. Sorry. Forgot. The thorn trees.
OK. What about them? Ha Ha

I love ya Francis! Ok, so onto business hahaha!
It is clear to me that homesteading is a great catagory/tag for you...
Here's what my inquiring mind wants to know:
What's the history of the land your farm is on?
How long has it been in your family or Pat's family because that connection is unclear to me?
Where did you originally grow up with @cowboyk?
Did your family farm tobacco as the main crop?
I would like to suggest that you write a post that answers these questions (if you're comfortable sharing your story, of course).
Use your homesteading tag, story, life, history (if you talk about the history of the original homestead) You could also use foraging as a tag if you talk about harvesting walnuts from your wild walnut trees that you are make an effort to let flourish.
I think that's a great story...
@rebeccaryan
I grew up on a farm. And I am from a VERY large family. Since I am old. We used manual labor back in those days for most of our work. I never really enjoyed that. Our living conditions were not what I wanted then. Nor does anyone want them today.
Thankfully as an adult I was able to make choices of my own. Many were not good choices either over the years. But, I have survived and flourished to a measurable point in life.
We were true homesteaders back then. Not in the "true" definition of today maybe.
But, we lived as the Amish do today. Only we were more Amish in living than they are today for the most part.
But, I have always liked the land. There is a sense of freedom in owning land. Elbow room I call it. Ha
What I don't really like is to have to be rushing around all the time. I just wish that day would end. It seems that whatever we finish and complete. Two or more take their place demanding attention. I would really like to retire. But, I know that isn't going to happen. Pat won't allow that. Ha
The land for me is mostly an investment and a peaceful owning for security. Someplace to go that others cannot keep us from. Depending on the stability of our government of course.
Governments can take what they want, when they want. Sad, but true.
I really like the world trading markets. That is something that holds my attention easily day after day.
And I like Florida in the winter too. In fact. I could live there all year. Again. But Pat. lol
I can only post who I am and what I like. The homesteading part of my life is by necessity.
Not the passion of my life. Oh yes, I can do it. But at my age. It could soon end.
Not that I feel any creaking bones or the such like. But, I can see the calendar. And it is not in my favor. Ha
