Trying Times on the Homestead

Image
  On this day I wanted to share this wonderful piece of my life, and I cherish each time I see it. There is nothing like the wholesome beauty of Gods country and the life we have. This is Hammy, he is our first piggy and we will feed him out 6 months and butcher him. Hammy and I have a great bond over him pooping on me in the truck, because I wanted to hold him like a baby. We had a chicken get bit , injured and then when I went out to check later it was really not going to make it. This is life is a do or die - I pet my dinner until it is on the table.  Animals come and go ! They are just that but I adore them and treat them as well as possible.  Raising money from sales on my own items I make please visit abundantrh.com

Delivery struggles : No home address?

 So our road is unmaintained, which means no one delivers out here. We would have a mailbox 2 roads away. How do I know this because our neighbors live on the road before ours. Now, I have to tell you theirs is at the end of the road before theirs.  Plus, the fight between counties is fun too we live in one, but they told us the other issues the address lol. Seriously, we call that one and they say oh no , 911 is in your resident county, so they have too issue it lol.  Here is where this all started, I ordered something from a company that had a horrible review, but it was the only company with the parts we needed. I cancelled the first order out fear. So then I get ahold of the company and the gentleman explained a few things for me. I reordered and it was sent out on time, but with Fedex (God help me !) Now 5 days later  1. Package was sent to one address very easy right in town, driver could not find lol , so they took it back with them. 2. Next, the company said ...

How do handle those you can not control: Part 1

  Well, for starters everyone is their own person, and Rules / Laws apply to those who CHOOSE to abide by them lol seriously .....  Lets take children for example : teach them all you know and all the right things to do. However, as soon as they are on their own, and its all their own personal decisions: You can choose to get involved or let them handle it with guidance or on their own just like they made the decision.  Asking for help is not always received well if you don't ask for advice, but the worst is asking for advice not taking it and asking for help later lol. Now lets talk about neighbors, co-workers and those you can not avoid. No matter what you do the way others see you is not in your control. You would have to bend to something you may not be if you want everyone to love / like or pretend for you.  I literally bought a piece of the worst property in the world, because it is on the side of a mountain. No neighbors for 2 years and then bamm ! This couple...
