I've been living on the farm for 17 months now. I moved down from Toronto to be with a very special man. Someone who makes me laugh. Someone I can be myself with; completely, holding nothing back. Someone who loves me unconditionally.
Was it a big sacrifice to move here from Toronto? No, not for me. I never did embrace big city life, so I don't miss it. In fact I have always wanted to live on a farm.
In the time I've been here I have gotten into a routine of feeding the animals; we have 4 cows, 3 horses, 46 sheep, 3 dogs and 10 cats, plus 8 new kittens. I have learned to drive a tractor, make preserves and administer to newly born lambs.
My challenges are: training the dogs, keeping the cats from all running into the house every time the door is opened, and remembering that dinner is a noon meal and supper is the late meal,
In the coming days, I hope to recount some of the rituals, challenges, frustrations and adventures I experience in this new venture,
