I'm with you. We have always tried to leave someplace better than we found it. We've moved 8 times in 13 years of marriage for the air force. So even if we had to rent, that meant making it look the very best we could. Now that we have the big farm, there is never a dull moment and always something to work on to improve. BUT, I think it gives us joy to improve the farm. Now we have children who work with us and being together stewarding is the ultimate way to instill that in them. Great post:)
