No, no, no. I have no idea what half of that is XD

Well atm we are doing up our house which we just bought then we will put in a stable/barn and then probably put in a garden.
25. Have you ever lived completely off what you produce? Would you like to?
No, it would be nice but I would still have to buy meat.
26. Do you make and fix things yourself to save money?
We try but not always
27. Has the experience with animals changed your attitude or habits?
100% I learn new things everyday and realise just how special and individual each of them are.
Well thanks for stopping by my thread and pop in and say hi if you own animals too!

Miss @Hudson and me,

Welcome aboard! You will find all kinds of helpful folks on the forum. Since you like horses, you are in luck, as Miss @thistlebloom has found your journal. There are several other folks on the forum here who either have or know about horses, such as Miss @Baymule in east Texas, USA, Miss @Fermarjan, in southwestern Virginia, USA, Miss @Mini Horses in south eastern (coastal) Virginia, and I am sure there are others here that is escaping my memory at the moment. There are all other kinds of folks who help you with things like gardens, such as Mr. @Mike CHS, in Tennessee, USA, and Miss @Baymule. So feel free to post to your heart's content. BTW, we like pictures! So, again, welcome aboard!

BTW, in what province in Australia are you located?

It’s 11:40 am here today I’m about to go check on my hens and collect the eggs and I really hope there are more. I run a small egg stall where I sell them to my dads friends at work and they pay $5 a carton. I will post pics of my chickens today 😁
