Closing this chapter . . . .

The farm chapter of my life story has been written, and it is time to move to the next chapter.

We love living here and having farm animals and a garden, but life throws you a curve sometimes and you have to make adjustments. With the closing of Colonial Bank (Monty's job), we re-opened our computer repair business The Nerd Guy and lost all our time and energy for the farm. Now that chapter (The Nerd Guy) is closed too, and Monty is working at the Air Force base in Montgomery and I'm teaching again.

I found out that one of my students in Maplesville is a chicken enthusiast and has lots of the same breeds I had, so he agreed to come and gather up my remaining few precious chickens and give them a new home. Spencer the goat passed away 2 weeks ago and we are trying to place Nellie his companion before she gets too lonely.

Then we'll have 2 dogs and 3 outdoor kitties. NO farm, no chickens, no quails, no rabbits, no goaties, and - so far - no garden.

I may be able to pull off a garden yet - we'll see. I'll definitely post about that, but probably on a new blog. Look for it - I'll send out notices on fb.
