[Nfbmt] farm thoughts

[Rebecca Stewart]

We are actually looking at property in a small town in Arizona.  I want to
live in a warmer climate in the winter so it would just be our winter home
but it is much smaller than Missoula but it does have a city bus.  We hope
to find time to go look at a few homes in Arizona in the next few weeks.  If
I become a snow bird, can I still be a member of the NFB of MT?  I would
still live in Missoula in the summers.  This is something I'm wondering
about.  I like being a member of our little chapter.

Thanks for sharing, Ted.
I was thinking of you on the farm, too, as I posted that.

I never did get around pigs that much.
My cousin over in the next township did, though. And he would show them at
the county fair.
I was always impressed with them.  And as you mention, they are much neater,
much smarter.

I would enjoy a bit of country life again myself, too.
In 1986, after the Peace Corps, Karen and I went to Tennessee, as part of
our re-entry into this culture again.
We almost stayed there, to go in on some land. It was along Turkey Creek,
just near the Cumblerland River, west of Nashville about 70 miles. Not too
far from the Loretta Lynn Dude Ranch.

The distance from town made me think I might not enjoy not being able to
just walk to the store, the library, up for a haircut, and the like.
So we just come on back to Bozeman. And stay we did. Almost migrated to the
Twin Cities as you may recall. But Karen's mom and family needs, and just
all of the practicality of it, argued we stay put.

So here we are, thinking of cows and pigs. And pecking on a keyboard. Who
knew?
Cold hands, even in our house!! Doggone it! Central heat? A natural gas
radiant stove does the job. But not unless you put your paws over it for a
good spell, once in awhile.

Greetings,

                FYI, a pig is probably the cleanest animal alive, if given a
chance.  He picks a corner, generally the furtherest from his feeder to use
as a bathroom, where horses & cattle will let it drop wherever they stand.

                More FYI, Dolly Parton, at about age 3 was watching an old
mother pig nurse her litter of piglets, so climbed into the pen and joined
them.

                I enjoyed my living in the country and kept trying to find
ways to make it more comfortable, especially in the winter time.

                Rik, I too kind of frosted my hands, so they suffer with the
cold now.

Ted
