Thanks so much for the kindness and advice on "that" thread of mine, Torre. I REALLY appreciate it. (as a quick update, DS has been awesome...he's asked a few questions about it and we've answered them. Otherwise, it's history to him. Lesson learned, moved on.)
I am not single, but spend a LOT of time alone, sometimes weeks at a time. (DH is a pilot and sometimes home a lot, or just the opposite, depending on his schedule.)
I am able to do most everything around here. The things I can't do alone are the things that you wouldn't be encountering. For example, we need to build a new chute for working our cattle. Too much welding for me alone. But, doesn't sound like you'd be running a herd of half-wild cattle on your homestead.
I can do everything our smaller animals need. Some days, it gets a little overwhelming, if there's lot of births at once or the cattle are loose in the neighbor's yard and I'm home alone with a 2 month old and a four year old. (The latter happened a few days ago. I dropped off the baby with a trusted elderly neighbor to hold on her lap while DS and I went and ran the cattle back through the broken fence and DS held the light for me and handed me barbed wire staples while I fixed the fence.)
be back later....fussy baby
