    The "Asian beetles" were not here until people started buying them to eat garden pests. Gardeners bought them by the 1000s back in the 80s-90s and now they're a big issue.

    May you not become discouraged and disappointed. There is a lot of hard work and tribulations ahead. We have been and done that in our lifetime. My wife and I are 75 and still going strong. We raised our family here. One has been fortunate enough to have career here. They raising their family here on our property. Our other two children have careers and families that has taken them farther away. But have built their own rural homesteads. Our values and life stile remains. God Bless

    I've got a gray water system here which ive never used, but its in place for when i get older. Ive got a dug well that i dont use but will as i get older. Ive got a dry toilet ststem here and compost my waste. My life is very simple here. Its when you try to have all the conveniences with bells and whistles is where most of the cost comes from. The less moving parts the better is where it's at for some of us.
