Wonderfully written. My life is somewhat similar...I was 44 before I got a Faith Farm of my own. I thank our Heavenly Father every day for leading me to this blessed beautiful piece of earthly paradise. I WILL fight to keep it.

Very nice.

I just copied and printed your post to share with my wide circle of friends (60s-90s). We are such blessed women to live in such a time as this, Hugs

[Alas Babylon!]

In the course of our assignments all over the country and overseas, we lived in government quarters or rented homes and while we made those accommodations homey, they were never really home. In my drives exploring the country around our assignments, I was always searching for the place to call home. After my husbands retirement we found our home; a small farm out in the country.

I am that husband (not yours obviously) and spent 22 years in the US Air Force. Absolutely similar situation. At my last posting at Maxwell AFB in Alabama, we bought our family farm in the rolling foothills along the Tallapoosa river, 24 years ago.

Today I'm putting up MORE tanex deer netting and re-transplanting broccoli and cabbage that WAS a salad bar for those four-legged heathens....
