All the best with your farmer, I'd be happy to have you read my book about farmers to coach you towards more than a summer fling. I've been happily married to my farmer for over 28 years. Your boys would thrive in the country. I am researching workaholic tendencies for farmers for a presentation called Fixing your Time Stress Mess. Thanks for your humour.

You have no idea how touched I am by your honestly and by sharing this. It's sweet how you and the farmer can be so honest with eachother about money and fear, and it does seem like you're driven to be near him which is a good sign. Maybe that's how we pick people, by who feels good to be around. Maybe that's as complicated as it should get. Maybe life is a series of decisions we should make for our happiness. And it sounds like you are happy around him; that alone is a huge indicator that you're doing something good for yourself. :) Hey, thank you so much for opening up on your blog.

Between her first farm post and this one, I believe that much is plain. The metaphor and imagery throughout is clever, but the believability really isn't there. It's well-crafted, but it's fiction.
