What an exquisite post, @daddykirbs. By reading and seeing the photos of your farm, you can not come to anything that is not a feeling of peace, tranquility and well-being. I love that atmosphere. You make see the life of the field, like something so pleasant, that causes to go running for there right now. My family has a farm where there are animals like cows, bulls and calves, they also have sheep or I do not know if they call them lambs. The cows are milked daily for the production of cheeses and the land is planted where they harvest delicious avocados (the best ones), very sweet oranges and time crops like grains, tmates, cucumbers, melons, etc. The countryside is a nice option for those who love the land. Thank you for sharing your experiences that make the field a very pleasant place to see. Greetings and blessings from Venezuela.
