Challenging traveling conditions in the winter and "moving on down the road" steadily have caused me to get behind in my replies. As well as two days behind in my posting … But “holed up” here in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in snow and sub-zero temperatures catching up a bit this morning @delishtreats ...

”I am coming from a farming family (which I might have mentioned already) and I would love to do that again.”

If you have in the past, I don’t recall seeing that. Very good to know. I’m not sure those who have always lived in big population centers can really understand the attraction. That said, you nicely list some of the serious drawbacks. It is not an easy lifestyle, by any means. But, I recall the words of a young man I hired during my “hay farming” adventure – ”It is honest work. You can’t cheat it!”

As a Christian, I think the other aspect which most wouldn’t appreciate (but you touch on) is no matter how hard you work, you still have no guarantee of success, as weather and “pestilence” (all of the various insects which can prey on your crop …), among other factors, are largely beyond your control.

”And that architecture is so strange. I'm sorry to say but there is not much charm in those houses.. I hope that interiors look better :)”

Not to worry @delishtreats, I won’t tell them you said that. 😊 Your secret is safe with me. Here “immutably enshrined” on the blockchain … 😉 Seriously, not much looks appealing under a dreary gray wintry sky in the snow. Unless, of course, it is somewhere in Switzerland … Haha!

”Oh, you must be excited to go home and see your better half again :) It's been a long time that you've been away :)”

Yes, most definitely. Given how poor the weather is here, I cannot see the Grand Tetons – the last stop of my “adventure.” Very unfortunate, but beyond my control … I will likely “set sail” for home this morning …

Thank you for adding value to my post @delishtreats with your comments!
