It's so easy to get excited, which leads to getting overwhelmed, which eventually ends up in disappointment when all that hard work gets wasted. I've gotten better about it through the years, but only through trial and (a lot of) error. I am a 'country transplant' from the suburbs of Chicago (living in Northern Indiana now) and I've never been happier. We have just expanded into raising chickens this year as well (we already raise cattle for beef), and just hanging out with them and watching them grow has been a blast. Can't wait to 'see' more of your progress!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289736725474907311noreply@blogger.com
