The only easy day is yesterday on a working ranch.
I am reminded of The Law of The Farm, where there are no easy fixes, and where it takes 10 years to become an overnight success. The harder you work the luckier you get.
The core formative experiences that all young people should pursue are : hard work to appreciate the benefits of labor; travel to understand deprivation and want; the power of reading;the importance of nurturing your body. What better place to do it all then on a rural farm in Central Flroida
...Flying low on the Lake Tohopekaliga in an airboat for the secoind consecutive October.... We hugged the shoreline on Saturday, we sailed past water lilies and reeds, saw blue heron, osprey, ducks and even a juvenile bald eagle....and of course Aligators. The real surprise was seeing Angus cows in the marsh.
