Rural Living

Where did September go?  It seems just like it was yesterday when I did the September Roll Call.  Does it seem like time's flying by you, too?

I'm Brigitte from Ontario, Canada living on a beef and sheep farm with DH and we have five children ranging from almost 15 down to almost five months.

Well, rural address is enough for me to welcome you to the board, Kate and thanks for delurking.  Our closest grocery store is about 1/2 hour from the Farm, but no liquor store across the street, although our neighbour has enough cases of beer in his garage, that you could think he's distributing it ...

What do you guys do for a living?

I'd like to get some pigs again as well.  DH said that this guy offered him a dozen piglets for $500 ... that same guy complained that if he was to send those piglets to the salesbarn he'd only get $28 ...  So DH is going to make a trip to the salesbarn one of these days, because we don't really need a dozen of them.  I'd like to have room for birds, but have to make do with my Budgies for now.  I trade eggs for 'burger with a friend of ours, but I find it a hassle to keep track of it and to have to go there to get them when I need them.  They only get a "pile" of 'burger when we slaughter a cow, so they don't have to come over ...  Oh well.
