Covid-19 Family Endeavors Change

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE POSTED!

2020 HAS NOT BEEN A GREAT YEAR FOR ANY OF US DUE TO THE COVID-19 EPIDEMIC.

STAYING AT HOME HAS BROUGHT ABOUT A LOT OF CHANGES IN OUR ENDEAVORS.

CINDY HAS COMPLETLY RETIRED FROM WORKING FOR OTHERS. SHE NOW HAS BECOME A FARMER!

RAISING CHICKENS!

HERE IS HER BIO!

I grew up in the country, in Colorado. My mother raised chickens, pigs and calves given to her from a nearby feedlot. As a teenager, I remember those days of feeding the calves with the buckets that had nipples for their formula. I had a pet pig that was the runt of a litter. I called him, glut-glut. I easily got attached to animals less perfect.

I married and we spent our honeymoon in Colorado, part of which was a visit with my mother at her country home. I remember waking up in the morning to roosters crowing, a hen talking in her broody talk, a squeal from a baby pig, geese alerts, and calves mooing to be fed! You see mom had a house with a side porch all along the side of house of which our room was on! I said to my husband, “Yes, Dear, this is what a Farm sounds like in the morning hours!”

Mom was a great gardener and we helped her prepare the soil, weed and pick the produce. Her whole back yard was a garden. One year she canned 5o jars of corn! The photo here is of my granddaughter, and I, showing her the 101’s of making a garden plot, when she was around 6 years old. Never to young to learn farming and never to old to still enjoy the farm life!

“Once a country girl and always a country gal at heart!”
