It’s been raining here for nearly 2 weeks every day. Great for the water table, not so great for sink holes. I feel like a guppy trying to come up for air.
The poor chickens look more like mud ducks. They lay better when they get plenty of vitamin D via the sun.
Wishing you all a very Happy Memorial Day as we remember every Veteran that has ever given their time or life for our freedoms. That being said I hope all of you will take the time to upvote a Veteran here on steemit or support a family member or friend that has worked hard for our Country.
In case you are wondering I served my time in Cheyenne Wyoming at a nuke base. I was the first woman to serve as a computer operator in the 90th missle wing.
I have a great deal of admiration, for our vets as we all work hard to put a life together outside of the service. It is difficult for many to adapt, as life in the military is highly structured. Kind of a dicotomy that those that fight for our freedoms have so much trouble adapting to their own freedom.
To me it is easier to live a rural life filled with the peace of nature. I appreciate the quietude of my slice of heaven and my friends the chickens. Small things make me happy.
This week we were talking about living small, and inconspicuously. It only makes sense that so many of us just want to be left alone to experiment with new types of agriculture, aquaculture, animal husbandry, off grid living, solar energy. I have never seen such a diversified bunch of people as there are here on Steemit willing to reach outside of their base of knowledge to try new ideas. Go steemit!
