You are such a kind genuine person Jerry - It is so nice of you to notice the hard work that others put into their work. I just visited each of the posts you pulled forward and they are all great posts. Kristin, It is so very important that you love your childrens friends ... the trust you build with them goes a long way - you never know what there life is like in there home, who knows, they may need a wonderful person like you to talk with sometimes.

Homesteading is the way to go!!! That Dervaes Family Yard is absolutely amazing - I envy them :) He is right, the Homegrown Revolution video on YouTube is a must see.

Annesaya - Your poem is beautiful - My eyes teared up while reading the words of this peom. You are very very talented - you should be proud of yourself. I followed you because after reading that, I look forward to reading more.

leafhopperfarm I love the idea of the portable pen - great way to keep the soul rotated :) That is a lot of chickens you will be raising - I only hope that someday, I can even have one - In our city, you cannot have them in your yards. Keep up the GREAT work - keep us updated on the chickens progress and if the only black grows to be what you thought it would be.

reyhaynes, I took me a minute to realize that those are cats in the picture, so cute :) I am also a newby but and I also am discouraged when I get none to very few upvotes :( My $1.34 that I have in my steemit wallet is not enough to buy a darn thing - but you know what, I am having so much fun and I am excited each day to see what I can find new on Steemit -I have confidence that you will be a real pro soon.

Aircoin - I am new to Steemit so I cannot comment on what used to be - I only know that I could not agree more with you on posts getting missed - I cannot believe the amount of posts I have missed - I refresh my email and up pops 10 more new ones...GRRRR I missed another one :( I am going to commit to not refreshing until I read the ones I have in front of me :)

Clunky, That is an awesome sketch - looks just like the Jerry we see on his videos - you are quite talented :) I envy you as I always wished I could draw/sketch - I just don't have that talent! I look forward to seeing more of your work.

masteranibal, you hit the nail on the head!!! Time flys when you are having FUN!!! In the line of business that I am in, an hour will fly by like it was only 5 minutes - what, what time is it!!!!! Its kind of like Steemit for me, I start on one task..I never stop the task until I am done..refresh the emails and up pop 10 more work emails...I just finished that file, its back in front of me again because the person I just emailed responded way to quick :) I love your post, efficiency is key.

aarellanes, oh aarellanes..I know just the post he is talking about..those sweet potatoes!!! I upvoted this post as the photo looked incredible..I had not eaten yet :) I follow you and I am happy when I see your posts!!!

Thank you everyone for bringing smiles to my fact - I am commited to doing my best to read all the posts in front of me and not refreshing until I do - every post is AWESOME just like each of you :) I love you all my Steemit Friends - SUNSHINE247
