Good remarks. We retired to this private spot and got the land first. Then came the ideas to develop it. We are not trying to make a living here and we certainly enjoy the benefits of nearby community, stores, electricity, internet and the mail service.
I am enjoying and learning from others in these gardening and homesteading groups. I does help to share our knowledge and experience, heartbreaks and blessings.

Ya, it's nice to be retired, but, honestly, I still spend 3 or 4 hours a day on agronomy. I like writing and such, but my oldest son is trying to convince me to take a piece of high desert land that we own and prove to everybody that a successful small-scale operation can be profitable in less than a year even under the most unfavorable conditions... He said he'd shoulder the hard labor, so I might just move forward and get my hands dirty one more time before I'm shoveled into my grave... I ain't shovelling any more horse shit, tho...
Happy trails in your retirement ....
