Right before I left, my husband and I were in our driveway, and our waterline split from our pond to our water. We do high-intensity rotational grazing, so we need that waterline working. I looked at him and said, “You know we don't have to do this, right? We could sell everything tomorrow and our life would be, seemingly, so much easier.” However, it goes back to all your points.

How much time do I have?
