It is said "You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl."
So true. And I'm enjoying reading this Thread.
I'm too old to homestead or even farm now, but I do have a photo that I can share.
My niece was going through old photos last week, and sent me this one, my brother and me on our horse Trixie, back around 1947.
I have hundreds of old photos, but they are not on my computer.
PS: My folks had around 100 acres, mostly in farmland but some timber.
My Dad also had a full time job in town, and farmed mornings, evenings and weekends.

Some people embraced big pharma to change nature whereas I listened to Jesus and embraced nature to improve the change. The heavenly Father said, "This is my daughter in whom I am well pleased". 18.1.2020.

I still find it overwhelming that so many here on this forum have similar background no matter what part of the world we hail from. Maybe it's just basic human structure.

Ok here is my story and why at the age of 75 I still need animals and growing things in my life.
Once farm life is in your blood, you can't help yourself.
My Auntie Loris and my Grandmother harvesting wheat in Grangeville, Idaho.
The small town of Dufur, Oregon near the ranch where I started life. My father was a ranch hand on a massive wheat and cattle ranch on the ridge overlooking the Dechutes River, Oregon.
The house where my mother lived when she was 8 years old, then later where I lived when I was 7 years old. My grandparents raised horses and sheep on 900 acres.
Near the end of 8 Mile Road, Dufur, Oregon.
The other grand parents farmed a large tract of land just south west of Dufur, Oregon. Which is now a festival grounds. Grandpa would be shocked.

Well I can't say it's in my blood cuz I was adopted at birth and know nothing about my background. BUT, my Mom grew up on a farm in Missouri, along with 2 sisters and 7 brothers. Almost every Summer we would go back and visit. One Summer my Aunt Ona helped me sneak some baby chicks home in a Quaker Oatmeal container. I don't think we made it 30 feet before it was discovered and I had to give them back.
