I often wish I lived on a farm. I tried growing veggies one year with some success (although the next year was a disaster) and have even thought about chickens or angora bunnies.
MaryJane Butters has a fantastic
book all about her world in Moscow, Idaho that makes farm life look incredibly romantic. But alas, I live in the city and trade off great coffee within walking distance for rolling prairies. Plus farming is a lot of work. My mom has told me enough stories about waking up at 5 AM to tend animals before school to know I wouldn't last a month.
So I shall live through the eyes of other Etsyians and create treasuries in honor of my farm life fantasies.
What a nostalgic treasury! 7 years ago I had a wonderfully balanced life of living in the city during the week-days and heading to the country for the week-end. I didn't think of it in romantic terms at the time as I was mostly dragged to the countryside by my parents, but now I miss that time so dearly! We had no livestock, but we provided our family with produce for the whole year. Unfortunately, I only started to realize how much it really means to have that spiritual connection to land as I grew older.
