Hoping that things work out wherever you may end up! I also hope that Joyce is handling things well. I’ve wondered how she’s handling the potential upheaval, unknowns, and resettling.

Well, she does have issues of depression along with anger issues.....but, ever since we have been together I have been a steady force in her life. I have always been open and completely honest with her about me, my beliefs, and my practices in life....she doesn't always understand or see things the way that I do, but she supports me and trusts me and the decisions that I make. She has lived thru and witnessed several situations now, so there is history to draw from and this makes it much easier to keep her from sinking, burning, and crashing with her depression. I attempt to live my life in accordance to the writings of the Apostle Paul....Romans to Philemon....this makes me different from most that believe the Holy Bible and I know that whatever may be faced the Holy Spirit will gives us strength to endure any situation....and also will give us the health needed to meet any task that is His will for us face. Joyce just says that I'm what keeps here steady and she has inner peace more and more as we continue to grow old together.....

This isn't the crab grass that you are probably used to.

I wondered about it being something different but my curiosity was piqued too!

Yes there are varieties of "crab grass" that is PURPOSELY planted. It is an excellent grass for grazing and stands up to traffic well. It is also very hardy. I would never discourage crab grass of any kind in a pasture. If it is green when we are having dry weather, the animals will thank you for it.

This is the original source but it is really working it's way through sheep farms that we know of with excellent results.

Yep, excellent forage. I used to try to kill it off till I saw how much the stock liked it. Never planted any on purpose except in a big deer mix plot.
People plant turnips and other veggie types for forage too, except it's called brassica when they do it on larger than garden scale. Pretty expensive but the daily gain is good, tho you would usually drill it in with something else, or mix it with sand in a rotary seeder due to the small seed size.
