just saying hello

[Jeff]

i was just checking in since its been awhile. i moved to floresville on 5 acres and am raising 25 chickens, 4 goats, 2 barbados sheep, countless farm cats, and 5 yorkies (plus 3 puppies), and no aquarium. it is kinda nice not to worry about a tank but i do miss seeing fish swimming around. it is good to see many of the same people still dolling out the info needed to advance such a wonderful addiction. keep up the good work.

great to hear from you jeff! sounds like you have your hands full without having a tank, hopefully you will get that itch again someday tho ;)

it will probebly only be a fresh water tank. i planted 2 apple, 3 peach, and 2 pear trees recently, and am going to start a small garden soon if i can keep the animals out of it. i want to try rasberry, blackberry and grapes out here also but the goats and chickens love anything green. luckily i have found only two rattlers out here,(i accidently picked one up with some post i was moving) and the other was just a head after the cats and chickens ate it. for the first time in 40 years i am completely satisified with everything i have and anything i may want i really don't care if i get it, it is a strange feeling.
my kids love it here also and my son has really opened up and doing better in school, his favorite thing is to look for eggs and chase the animals around. my daughter is a tweenager that is going to try my patients but is great.

That's wonderful. We really love it here too.

Especially with little kids it's easier to get them to eat their breakfast if they know Muffy laid that egg especially for them, etc.

Hope you got less sand than we do where you are! It's tough to grow much in it.

If you need massive amounts of horse manure for fertilizer come on by and bring your truck lol

Sounds like fun!

Maybe it's time to introduce a large scale fish hatchery, lol.
