That was terrific! Well said and thoughtful.
People often ask me how I fill my days now that I’m retired, living out in the boonies and alone a good chunk of the time while Beau is off hunting, fishing, hunting, fishing, hunting, fishing and hunting, LOL! (It’s HIS retirement; I knew what I was signing up for.)
Mainly, my days are just ‘treading water’ to keep up with the many, MANY things that need doing around here, just to keep life functional for us and the animals! And, of course, the garden takes up a good chunk of 3/4 of the year (March - October, usually) and then volunteer work/projects, family obligations and other artsy pursuits.
I don’t remember how I had TIME to work, let alone raise kids!

Great post! Thanks so much! I have 30 minutes to goof off, then on to dog and barn chores. ;)
I had to go to Hobby Lobby for a roll of “It’s A Boy” ribbon I saw the other day. In general, I stop by the “Sale” bin - usually it’s a mess & I don’t see much of anything; HOWEVER, today was different .... made me VERY happy:
1 skein of Yarn Bee ‘Alpaca Twist’ in color ‘silver’, Reg. $4.29, Sale $1.07 (gorgeous yarn - color, slightly fuzzy, 10% alpaca)
2 skeins of Yarn Bee ‘Fireplace Comfort’ in color ‘Veiled Amethyst’ in same lot #, Reg. $8.99, Sale $2.24 (wool content is 30%)
Both yarns are a ‘4 medium’ weight & the yardage per skein is decent (175 & 229).
Savings: about $17 (Happy Dance!!)
