Well Ashley, I read all your blog about moving and all the comments. I'm 83 yo and thank God daily that I can live alone in my home, with relative..........actually very good health. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that I enjoy every day. I have lived in many US states and in Europe for 3 yrs. The first part of your comments distressed me to hear you live as though in someone else's home. It's yours until it's not. At the end, you realized that yourself. Good for you. Take care and enjoy the fruits of your labor until you actually have to move.

Such a beautiful article. I've hit 50+ now and over the last few years here and after our daughter was born I had to make the tough choice of giving up many of the homesteading things around here because I can't keep up with it all. I know how tough it is to do, the hardest was my raised gardens and extensive flower beds were replaced by lawn and down sized.

We have chickens here, I'm in CT, a short drive from VT, I'd be happy to deliver for you any amount of fertilized eggs you'd like. We have a mix of breeds and our rooster is an EasterEgger. We've had great success and raised a number of friendly chicks in the last years.

Best wishes finding a new home, it's an awful time to look. Be patient, everything happens for a reason and when the timing is right you'll find it. Until then enjoy today, it's all we ever really have.
