    Your closing comments are spot on. It's what each of us experience throughout our lives. Raising the family, paying the mortgage, work, work and more work until we realize that the kids are grown and the mortgage is paid. Then it's just your mate and you. Time to get back to the things, as you said, fulfill us. Contentment is the key to a happy retirement I believe.

Once it was abandoned, the wisteria and privet went nuts and turned the place into a jungle you could hardly see through. He has been fighting it ever since. I never knew wisteria could grow so much. Some of the branches that went up trees there actually are 4-5+ inches in diameter. I have always loved pruning things.

We raise wheat as a cash crop. We used to grow oats and barley but we don’t feed our calves anymore, we sell our calves in October depending on the market price. We make prairie hay and grow crested wheat grass for hay. We can only harvest hay every other year on a given field. Our precipitation is only an average of 14” including snow. Good luck this year.
