Why is everything so heavy?

A question I ask myself all the time.  

I ask this question many times as I am unloading multiple bags of feed.

Why don’t the bags ever feel light?!

The chickens, cats, and geese all need feed.  Each bag of feed weighs 50 pounds.  When you live a far distance from any store, you buy many bags.

I always feel relieved when the bags are unloaded.  

As I am writing this post, the cats need food.  I think to myself “didn’t we just buy cat food?”

Recently, I have seen on the local news people lining up to start a backyard chicken flock.  It looked like the day after Thanksgiving.  Here is a little bit of advice, buy lots of chicken feed.  The bags never get light.  The chickens are constantly eating.  No matter how much you give them, they always want more.  A 50 pound bag of chicken feed is always a 50 pound bag of feed.  I do wish everyone good luck starting chickens.  Chickens have been a part of my life since 2009.

Who knew (I would never have thought) a person that grew up in a townhouse, could write a blog about farm life.
