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.

Modern housewives are sometimes told that they're living in the past. Here's an article from The Daily Mail (UK) about three women who really do live in the past. It's not something I would choose, but they're not breaking any laws, they're not hurting anyone, they're happy, and their husbands share their devotion to living in the past. Personally, I'd love to have the Fifties lady's kitchen and the Fourties lady's car.
