Although at this time of year it's hard to believe it, I have a friend who is 84 years old and she still farms sheep nearby. She had 52 mamma sheep this season (all the lambs are now born), bummer lambs to feed, daily rations to give, and all the innoculations, etc. She also wore the undertaker hat. We had a week of freezing cold and one morning she found a frozen newborn in the field. Very unexpected. She and her husband raised and sold sheep for years. Her son owns the sheep on her farm now, but he lives elsewhere and comes once or twice a week. You can well imagine all the work she does the rest of the week! But she loves the life so who knows if you will still be on the farm at 80+. There are a lot worse ways to live. Hope you find lots more heart rocks!Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-24451850413008082042007-03-28T23:14:00.000-05:002007-03-28T23:14:00.000-05:00Your wood fire, warm breads, and barn tales warm u...Your wood fire, warm breads, and barn tales warm us farm beyond the bounds of your homeplace.

But, it sounds like your heart is helping you out by finding "hearts" all along your sometimes weary path.

The blessing is - tomorrow is a NEW day - all clean and shiny. Yes - the undertaker part just plain stinks - but our consolation is probably same as yours- we did our very best for every creature in our care. The hard work - well my spouse always says "better to wear out than rust". So oil yer joints with something chocolate, a bit of sleep and we look forward to tomorrow with you.

I know living here in the city gives me nothing. A soul needs nourishment. Mine is getting nothing here so I come to this site to give myself a little boost. I have helped with sheep, planted a garden and done so many things that you have inspired. Hang in there. Hey do hire wayward city folk? I can cook!

I was the soul that commented on the farm filled with "LOVE".I am a horselover. Heart,mind and body. I was born with this unquenchible thirst to be woven into the souls of horses! I am incomplete in a huge way without my daily fix. An addict. Your daily grind of being a responsible animal tender can be exhausting,heartbreaking and dirty!Just think though, what would you rather be up to? You have to be somewhere,so why not be a shepardess?
