North East Wisconsin, here. Hello All

Currently renting a house with 6 acres. Looking into a place with 5 or more acres. If it wasn't for the kids we would be back in WV on the family farm. WV is not very kids friendly, IMO.

It was easy to get permanent birth control. Which is the only BC that worked for us. Had 6 kids. He got snipped.

A good "scarecrow" for deer are the cattle horns / skulls. I have a neighbor that puts them up in her garden every year and the deer stay clear. I have yet to have an issue with deer. We have the field mice, and moles hitting our tomatoes this year.

I am new to the board, but have home schooled our oldest two before. Our other children I have not. I feared I would spend the day trying to get them to do their work. It is why I stopped the homeschooling. I had to fight the oldest boy to get him to do the work. He could do all his school work...
