I was raised on a small farm, we heated with wood, milked our cows, made butter & butter milk.
I limbed up falling tree with a five pound ax in grade school & spilt wood for the wood stove.
We grew all our vegetables, picked both cultivated & wild fruit, built our rabbit boxes & made our own cain poles.
The farm house I was raised in is over 100 years old & has been used as a hay barn for the last thirty years.
We butchered rabbits,chicken, hogs, deer, squirrel, quail, doves, fish,eels, Dad took the cows to the town butcher.
Put up fence & maintained the fence on the property. We still garden today.
I worked as a machinist, heat treater, black oxide, pest control, home insulator, industrial Mechanic, furniture maker.
Plant propagation, nursery attendant, some yard maintenance & irrigation installer.
I am retired now, I do work with my son some & play on my Kubota tractor on my farm.
