Sugar Bend Farm

Changes

It has been months since I blogged.  There have been so many changes going on in my life that I just haven't felt like blogging.  I couldn't even begin to tell all of the things that have been happening, but I will just say that we are no longer living on SugarBend Farm.  For more reasons than I care to tell, we have moved once again to the city.  We are selling our homestead!  It has taken a while for me to accept and deal with this; I was very upset in the beginning, but have worked through much of my grief and disappointment.  I can't say that I have completely recovered and moved on in my heart, but life changes, when it does, you have to change with it.  I have always adapted to change well; I have always had to, so it is a good thing I am natured that way.  In fact, many times, I welcome change, but this one was a little tougher to deal with than some I have faced in the past.  But with the help of God, I have accepted the change and am trying to make the best of it.  Without going into much detail, we have moved back to the city, in a subdivision: ie...small yard, no farm animals, and close neighbors!  But I am dealing!  Getting rid of the goats was a hard thing to do, but in the weeks before the inevitable came, I let my husband take care of their daily needs, and I didn't even go out to see them.  That was the way I pulled away, before having to see them go.  It made the leaving not so difficult.  We still have one goat, cow, and rabbits and chickens, still at SugarBend, we go out every few days to see to them, and the neighbor takes care of the daily chores.  We are getting the house ready to sell and trying to find homes for the animals we still have.  Anyway, I am trying to decide if I am going to continue on Homestead blogger or not.  If I do, I will probably delete this site and start from scratch.  I am not sure.  I know you don't have to actually have a homestead to be on here, but I don't know what I would actually have to contribute to the community now that I no longer have a farm.  I am thinking about it and will make a decision soon. 

Well, that is a fraction of what has been happening here.  I would like to hear from others who may have done what we have done.  I would like to know how you adjusted to the change in your lives and things you did to make it a positive change for your families.  I have enjoyed reading so many of your blogs and look forward to hearing more from all of you in the near future.
