Hey Sam. Many years ago when I worked at a small struggling wildlife sanctuary, my boss utilized Eagle Scouts for a lot of her projects…just a thought.

Thank you! I'm not sure what kind of community exists in this area around the cub scouts programs, but I can certainly look into it! 🙌

Looking forward to reading more about how your 2025 goals play out. I like how you shift gears when needed. I’ve had to take time away from home reno, caring for animals and growing due to several illnesses in a row, but keep reminding myself that this will pass. I miss my time with my goats and gardening. Your goals encourage me to consider my own without feeling so overwhelmed.

I get not being an employee. I am an entrepreneur at heart - and my previous employers struggled with me always having ideas about their businesses. Haha But it does sound like you’ve encouraged some of the children to broaden their palettes. I feel like you positively contribute wherever you land. And what more can one ask for?

Here’s to a productive and beautiful 2025!

I do need to do some of the things you talked about. I already have some raised beds, but my corn does better on mother earth. I have a four-foot wire fence around my garden but with the clearing for new homes about the only problem I have is with smaller wildlife.

Oh yes, and those little guys will get through most fences. One of my issues too. Moles and voles, mice and rats...

Hahaha! Employers *definitely* don't like it when we have ideas!! Seems they much prefer a docile employee who just follows directions. And I agree, making a positive difference wherever we are is the best we can hope for.

Thank you for following along, Beth! 🙏
