My Dad was a farmer in Saskatchewan. My mother was a typical farmer's wife at the time having multiple gardens (veggies, flowers, shelterbelts), chickens and other fowl, milking cows and the like.
I come from a family of 4 girls and all of us knew the basics about farm equipment as we had to help out from time to time. Bored was not a word in our vocabulary.
I grew up 13 miles from the local town, in a very isolated area. That is why I have always enjoyed nature and have always prized my solitude.
I think growing up in such an environment has made it easier for me and my sisters to deal with COVID. We have always been pretty self reliant and independent and know how to live by ourselves.
