More than Farm Life

            So I have had some messages in my inbox today asking about why I wrote about sitting by the fire, instead of something about farming.  It is simple.  Life on the farm is more than just about farming.  It is about life in general and in some instances the circle of life (no not the Elton John song from the Lion King).  

            So being on a farm isn't necessarily sitting on a hundred acres, it could be sitting on half an acre.  That half an acre could be one of the most lucrative micro-farms in the area.  Life on the farm is about family and watching kids learn and become fascinated with nature.  My two youngest kids love animals and would give their left arms for any animal.  Farm life is about that quality time you spend with your family and animals.  It is about those little moments in life where you have your A Ha moments.  

            Life on the farm is about watching both the birth of an animal and the death of an animal, whether it is for food or from old age.  It is about replenishing the Earth's soil with crop rotation and adding nature's own fertilizer in the mix.  While farm life can be hard and grueling at times; however, it can be most rewarding as well.  

           Remember it is how you choose to make your life, whether you have to overcome adversity or everything is kosher.  Be happy, live life to the fullest, and spend that quality time with the ones or animals you love.  And remember the farm life is about more than just farming.  Take care my friends.
