Whah! <BR/><BR/>Both of my grandfathers, Marcelino & Francisco, were farmers of a different sort because they lived on a tropical island and grew things such as bananas, coffee, mangos.... I can still smell the fresh roasted coffee beans... mmmmm!<BR/><BR/>When my Mom and Dad moved to the states, they left that life behind, my Dad happily so, but not Mom. She always crammed as much as possible into her city lot backyard and for many years, she was the only person I knew that actually grew and used cilantro. <BR/><BR/>I guess I inherited that 'farmer' gene, cause I also cram what I can into what space I have and have always dreamed of having livestock. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I'm allergic to hay and some animals and so have never had any. But, in our last home we had a berry business going and I loved it. <BR/><BR/>Ruben wants to move to where we have a little more space than our 2 town lots. I've convinced him we need to look for a space with some outbuilding and acreage. <BR/><BR/>If not, I will continue to 'farm' in my limited space and will have to figure out how to sneak in chickens and convince the town they are merely pets. *G*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579899.post-1156510605185632652006-08-25T08:56:00.000-04:002006-08-25T08:56:00.000-04:00Cary, your choice of photos is wonderful.

I'd like more detail in fact. For example, how many acres does it take to produce hay for your flocks? If someone wanted to pack it in and get some farm acreage, how many acres should they get? And yes, I would love to have a real farm one day, not just my little "homestead."Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339873778625811767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579899.post-1156351708524805182006-08-23T12:48:00.000-04:002006-08-23T12:48:00.000-04:00Denise, my friend, I firmly believe with all of my...Denise, my friend, I firmly believe with all of my heart that you will make it back to the farm one day...it may not be for a long while, but I know that you will be there again with maybe a few sheep, your Little Gem wheel and grandbabies around your knees ;)<BR/><BR/>Hugs, CaryCary ~ My Wool Mitten at Serenity Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349458644831264576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579899.post-1156344533040793422006-08-23T10:48:00.000-04:002006-08-23T10:48:00.000-04:00Oh Cary!I am both the first and the last generatio...Oh Cary!<BR/><BR/>I am both the first and the last generation of farming in my family. I have yet to figure out how to bring a generational sense of what remains to my own family as we now reside in a postage stamp sized lot smack in the middle of suburban development. <BR/><BR/>But, see, it is people like you, hearlding the call, who give people like me encouragement. And, if I never make it back to the farm, at least I can live vicariously, and gratefully, through people like you. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your post, your wisdom, and your fabulous pictures!<BR/><BR/>God bless you,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
