My Day As Farmer Sue And Getting My Exercise In....

[suzanne sanders]

I rise up out of bed early in the morning, out by 7:00 am, feed the animals, take the horses and dogs up the mountain, I workout doing agility drills up the steep hill with a 10 pound pack on, once I am at the top, I do push-ups, low stances drills, front kicks, outside crescent kicks, inside crescent kicks, straight leg kicks, ab work, stretch, then I have tea, listen to the birds and then come down out of the mountains.  At that point my day is all farmer Sue, I have a couple of breaks and I do not get back inside the house until about 10:00 pm.  There have been many days where my husband and I go back out ( yes after 10:00 pm) and slug patrol.   I figure I am putting in about 12 to 15 hours a day, on the farm.  The days are super long, we are all tired, but at the same time we feel good about what we are doing.  There is something special about the energy of working the land, connecting with it and growing your own and for others.
