Editorial Comment

As our regular readers know we started this blog as something to do while we worked on the farm we had just purchased back in 2005. It became something to do as we spent the next eight years in the hospital as the Mrs., became ill, was finally diagnosed and stabilized.
Having retired from a thriving Psychology practice to run the farm in retirement was the plan, but as they say ... the best laid plans ....

With the Mrs'., stabilization came the opportunity to re-enter the corporate world and it was taken - boredom with retirement, (even though there was no time between the hospital, farm and all the other activities we enjoy), was the main decision maker there. (Not that the salary was a deterrent either, we make more than we did in our practice with even less work and as you may know Psychologists make a pretty good living and do not work hard while doing it.)

In doing so time constraints grew tighter - although sleep has been the enemy for a lifetime one still has to have it sometime - so it was decided to curtail the blogging as of April 1, 2015. Something we would be announcing about now.

However, Blogger's recent foray into insanity (which they soon realized and reversed themselves on) the time table for our sister blogs was moved up to March 1, 2015. The result was no loss of readership for any of the blogs. In fact there is an increasing readership for the new blog introduced on March 1, 2015.

Today we are announcing that this blog will curtail its posts beginning tomorrow. Don't fret dear readers it will only be curtailed to the number of posts found on the new blog - 20 in lieu of the current 30. (You would be amazed at the amount of time it takes for those 10 posts.) Content and theme shall remain the same, only a slight decrease in volume.

Also, as you know we recently disallowed comments to be published on any of our blogs without the editor's approval due to trolls seeking to divert and pervert them. This has resulted in a wholesale exodus of the trolls for greener pastures - except for a few really stupid ones who always seem to be too stupid to realize they have lost at everything.

We are taking a page from Ms, Judd's book and these trolls shall soon be visited by the authorities to explain their option of a fine and jail or jail and a fine to them for their trolling activities.
Non-troll comments are being archived and could be published at any time. Troll comments are being collected and forwarded to the authorities for prosecution.

On a happy note - Spring is here. Time for some of those other activities mentioned above ... Gardening, Yard Work, DIY Projects, Day Trips, etc. As well as the work needed to run a farm.

Tilling for the planting is going to be a fun time because we have an old 'homemade' tiller made by grandpa before WW2 - he took a small riding tractor engine that still worked while the rest of the tractor was only good for salvage and converted it into a walk-behind tiller ... which means we have a self propelled tiller that you have to run behind to keep it upright and it helps if you can bench-press at least 200lbs (if you can't before you use the tiller you will after you use it).

Living on the lake (the farm is across the road from the lake while our home is on the lake front) has its advantages and its disadvantages one of which is with the warmer days comes an onslaught of nonresidents crowding onto the lake and creating an extremely hazardous environment. There have already been four collisions off the end of our pier and Spring only began this past Friday at 6:45PM. We hope this is not an indicator as to the 'lake season' this year, if so it it going to be a LOOOOOOONG one indeed.

Thank you for reading Carolina Naturally and her sister blogs.
Have Fun and Enjoy!
