i swear you people with your big farms make me sick

Land... Land... land and MORE land. That is what I want. Oh wait... we have the land.

A HOUSE... HOUSE... HOUSE... that is what I want!

Sometimes I wish I had more than my acre city lot but I have trouble taking care of the acre at times.

I am in college and still live with my parents, but one day I will have my own little farm. I like to have alittle of everything from horses-goats! I love work. Manual labor makes me feel like I have accomplished something! Yeah I am young and yeah I know I will feel it later on in life(espcially thanks to horses), but it is what makes me happy! Even if I cant have all the land I want, if all my animals are taken care of and happy then I am happy! I grew up in the city so every second I live in the country I enjoy it. Oh by the way I live in NW Ga in pretty much the perfect location!

I have a lot of land but I give up a lot to keep it. Didn't have a fancy car or go on long trips all my married life.
Lot of time we wonder why we keep trying. We could sale it for over$2,000 a acre easy because we have 3/4 mile year around creek 39 some all weather springs, half of the 350 in timber. I could have a fancy house and still have money to enjoy. Kids say the will sell it when we gone but maybe they won't, the grand kids love grandy's ranch.
But then I watch my grand kids play and don't have to worry about them,I see the deer,turkeys and a couple of wolves and I hear the peace and decided OK let the kids sell it when we gone, I enjoy it now.
But we have several times a year the power goes down and we have to drive 4 x 4 to get around. And there a small town 25 miles away and Tulsa 65 miles away but I would go crazy in town.
Then there the snake,mouse and ticks.
But I think they the price for the beauty

We live in a city with only about 4 feet of grass on each side of our house. Oh I dream of the country..

I guess i must have had it made, we have 10 acres and no neighbors for a mile. We have been building up the soil, but it still won't support more than one horse and some goats at the very most. Can't grow a garden unless it is raised because of the rocks. Then we lost out mobile home there in a tornado. We tried to build, but ran out of money so we lived there for a year with five of us in a 27 foot camper. Then my dad passed and I got his place near town. The soil is pretty good, and we can have animals, but now we have compaining neighbors and I had to sell most of my goats and pig because of no room and the neighbors complaining. We now have just over half an acre, mobile home, city water, cable TV, and high speed internet and a paved road. None of which was available there. Yet I still miss it and have full intentions of making it and this place both into workable self-sustaining farms!
