One Woman's Dream
Some think I have completely lost my marbles. For my retirement, I am choosing to leave what many consider is paradise, White Rock, BC, a beautiful temperate little city by the ocean, and move to frosty Alberta. Well, it might be so, but we all create dreams of our own and this is mine. My little organic farm, The Fat Ewe, was birthed in the summer of 2011.The farm has a primary or main residence with two finished floors and the farmhouse has two lovely bedrooms and all the amenities of home .Oh boy!
So, between the more than 100 animals, new goat kids, moving portable fences, feeding, watering and the bed and breakfast, basically I fall into bed nightly and sleep soundly. My wonderful dogs are on guard at night and so far, there have been zero predator losses, except to the ravens. Robbie is now trained to sky watch and he is doing an excellent job training the other dogs to pay attention and chase ravens.
This is my dream. Yes it is a ton of work and there are no days off, but it makes me happy to commune with nature and the animals. Walking the trails on my own land is uplifting for the soul. Life is wonderful. So will it be at The Fat Ewe.
