I live and work on my parents dairy farm. I’m a little old for still living with my parents(mid 30’s) but they really do need my help to keep the dairy going. I’m single mostly because I am a dedicated farm girl who loves the cows and the horses and the only men I meet who feel the same way are Amish and they don’t marry English women. Soo when I take a bf home to the farm, my step dad has a way of working the sh*t out of him and he never comes back, lol
I love my mom and have a guru/disciple kind of relationship with my step dad. He keeps the outside world from crushing my spirit and I am very grateful for that.
I am very dedicated to my own spiritual path and feel I have made great strides toward living a meaningful life, even without a husband or children. I have plenty of animals who I take care of and maybe someday I’ll find Mr Right or settle for Mr not too scary.
This has to be the vaguest “About Me” I ever seen darlin’ … lol
Ok I can do better than this, lol
Never get any decent internet stalkers if ya don’t give a lil in yur description ;)…not counting me, but I’m only half-decent
There now you have more information to stalk me better with
“Mr Right” or “Mr not too scary” … counts Me out … lol
You are doing a great job stalking me. You just need more practice developing that male ego thingy that makes women want to run and hide.
Ah, yea. I’ll work on that one
Creepy enuff yet ?
Love this :). Thanks so much for stopping by my blog
I have seen your comments on other blogs and you intriqued me to come and meet you. I agreed with one of them and attached myself leaving a “What Suzy said” kind of nod rather than saying anything more in way of my own reply. I wonder why it has been so long since you posted one of your own posts. I love your writing. Hope all is okay. I think your story living on a dairy farm is so interesting! My daughter turned Vegan because she said she saw such horrible videos on different farms. One of my husband’s best friends grew up on a dairy farm and told us… THAT is NOT in the US. I’d love to report to her that is true. Please write more!
Hi Diane, Yes we farm in the US in Pennsylvania. My step dad started the dairy to prove some spiritual principles to himself and we have been doing dairy farming with horses for over twenty years now. He is more a guru to me than a parent. Thanks again for your comments
You must tell your story! I have an uncanny suspicion that it is a great one filled with amazing quotes from your wonderful father!
Hi love, This is something my step dad wrote when he started our dairy;
When we bought the cows( which was my wife’s idea)
everyone we knew agreed we had no chance of making it
work. I looked at the endeavor as a spiritual
experience right from the start. Getting the money to
buy the cows, finding and setting up a barn to move them to,
hauling away the manure with just a young green
pair of horses, and feeding them with no land and no
equipment was all one miracle after another for me.
For a year we milked the 30 or so cows we bought
and lived off the sale of the milk. Then one day the
man we were renting the barn from decided he was going
to quit his job and milk cows for a living. He
figured if idiots like us could make it, he should
have no trouble at all. So he wanted us out of his
barn right away. I remember telling Kathy we had to
wait for God to come into the barn.
Things got very tense after awhile because the
owner didn’t want us there. I told a friend to watch
closely because I was going to pass a herd of cows
through the eye of a needle. And sure enough God came
into the barn in the form of a cattle dealer who moved
us to our third barn 50 miles away. After landing on
the farm a man I didn’t know came up and told me he
was going to take back his mower. I told him that at
this point in my life I didn’t think anyone had the
power to take away anything I really needed. He never
did take that mower away.
Love it! Seeee…. I read every word. That doesn’t always happen 😉 You’ve got a good story here. Maybe I was supposed to come along to encourage you to put it all together. Look at how Little House On The Prarie was turned into a series! In a world that is so caught up in the city side of things, people love to hear stories that seems so far away from their every day life.
I moved my daughter to the country from Los Angeles and one day as we were driving to school I asked
“Did ya ever think you’d see cows on your way to school?” Even though she is back in LA pursuing her dreams. I am glad I brought her to the “country” and it is funny. I live in a winery hub of CA and people from the “city” come here all the time in awe of something just 4 hours away from them! I do think you have a story to tell that people would love!
No pressure… smile… but I followed ya! Looking forward to reading more. 😉
