About Me
Living in "the sticks" raises a few challenges for someone who has spent far too much time in the big cities. Like chiggers, coyotes and poison ivy (I know where one patch is and avoid it!) Trying to grow our own food is sometimes easier, sometimes more difficult - rain is great until it washes your garden away! Many adjustments have been made, and many more are still coming.
Predators out here are a challenge too. Fortunately, we have no issues with the human types - far fewer here than in the city! However, Coyotes, possums, coons, etc. have made a big impression on the chicken flock, and are a deterrent for getting more livestock until we can get some of them under control (we have a backhoe and are not afraid to use it - works for ALL kinds of predators )
