I don't really remember turning fifty, nearly 20 years ago. It would have been 2 years before we started with the animals and raising our own food.
I think a lot of the anxiety people feel is the uncertainty of the world we live in, it can wear on you. I found it really helps to NOT have TV, radio, or newspapers. If it's bad enough someone will tell you.
Seed starting is March 1 here, just 5 weeks away, and I've not made harden plans or ordered seeds yet!!
Yes, seeding time is getting close. Brings back memories of when all I did on the farm was seed by hand using a V-shaped metal tool and a tiny metal rod to tap on it with. Carefully placing two seeds in each flat section. Tap, tap, tap.. I earned that $1.75/hr.
