I hope ya'll are reading Amy Scott's How We Did It series. The nitty gritty of how the Scotts made their way to a 54 acre farm is intriguing.
Today, she remarked that they began married life with $318 a week. I just figured it out and we began our married life with $220 a week. That's a bit of a consolation when I wonder where my farm is. I keep asking for some chickens, but the suburbs are not the place to hear crowing at 4am. Besides, I'm not too sure I could manage the killing. Or the plucking. Or eating for dinner a chicken I'd known. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'd fail at farmwifery.
I think I'll just continue to live my farm life vicariously through Amy's Farm Updates.
Thanks for bringing these articles to my attention...very good reading.
