Chickens, goats, donkeys & a dairy cow, yes, please.

I talked about growing up on a ranch.

It was an incredible place to grow up.

We moved away when I was eleven years old.

And, now, I'm in my thirties...and I'm reverting back to my roots.

I want to have land and livestock again.

I have a plan.

I'm going to make it work.

Life's too short not to strive for our dreams, right?

This is what started it all.

Me milking Bessy, the milk cow, when I was little.

My Not-So-Midlife Crisis

I just discovered Gene Simmon's Family Jewels, 

which is a great reality show following the Kiss rock star and his family.

I admire his business acumen 

(did I use that word correctly? It just came out! so I'm going to leave it there).

Ironically, it inspires me to follow my dreams.

I'm not satisfied with the career path I've found myself blundering along. 

I need to be writing. 

I spend more time thinking about writing than actually writing.

And I want a small farm. 

Or just a little house with a little bit of land to have chickens, a dairy cow and some donkeys. 

A garden to grow vegetables.

an apple tree?

Maybe I've been playing too much We Farm on my iPhone?

I have a strong need to live more "country" and write about it.

Have I lost my mind?!
