Dobie in Ohio

[Dobie]

I've always wanted to be homesteadish.

Emphasis on the ISH. I only want the fun facade part.

Pet chickens and 2 goats. Same sex. No breeding allowed. And a couple beehives and a bat house.

I'd for sure plant a garden. Planting is wonderful, but I only like to weed when I feel like it so we need to be decently close to a store.

I'm not lazy but I've done my time. I've raised 5 kids and one grandchild. Now he's a sophomore at OSU and doesn't need me as much.

We are moving today. Moving from a super nice Hilliard, Ohio neighborhood (the Scioto River and a beautiful park were my backyard) to 2 acres in West Mansfield, Ohio.

Where I lived is so beautiful and I have so many friends, but no chickens or goats or really anything but cats and dogs are allowed. And they'd better be pretty.

It's bittersweet. I will miss this but looking forward to what's coming.

I've kept a colony of Sea Monkeys thriving for over 10 years. If I can do that, I can do anything!

Oh yeah, my husband is coming too.

Welcome to the forum! Oh the glory of manure and compost! Put it on the garden!
A secret for those weeds…… plant with wide enough rows to MOW!!

Welcome from Ohio I have done some work around west Mansfield lately.

What kind of work?

HVAC in new homes

Well that's pretty handy dandy. And probably the only service I don't need in my new to me home.

That's good. It's a good living. Equipment is hard to get now so glad you don't.need any.
