Amazingly enough, they aren't beating a path to my door! I spend WAAAAY
too much time alone and rarely leave the farm...can't meet men that way;
he'd have to be sitting in my bush beans to get noticed.. I've been more
active this year in the Farmers' Market and several local food groups, but
we are all women. There seem to be lots of women running small farms,
mostly with men who aren't interested in farming, with marriages
crumbling.

To you wannabees....make sure your spouse really wants to do this!!! If a
homesteader starts resenting the 'sacrifices' they have to make to
homestead, and doesn't see the beauty and fun in it, it's the beginning of
the end.
