Guilt should have me posting, but I am in a serious rut right now.  The truth is, we are planning to move from the desert, and the hopes of that have got me thinking of nothing but grass and hay and animals and seasons, and a fireside evening with my family, and all of the things like that.  I am tired of houses and so ready to make a home.  I am tired of sand here.  The people in this valley are largely very wonderful people to live among, and the time in getting to know them has been an investment that I would hate to see wasted.  However, I have to consider the lifestyle we really want to live and the means by which we will continue to support our family.  Alfalfa cubes here have now reached $250 per bag (1,200#), having been at $125 when we arrived here.  It is projected to increase only more over the coming months and years.  The man who supplies ours said it will go up by $10 a week from now, but I wonder if he meant per month?  Guilt should by itself have me posting, and it should have me building here, but I am in a position where we need more output for the input than this desert can provide!
