That is an excellent introductorypost. It sounds like we grew up similarly. I enjoyed your writing style as well and your photos were impeccable. I helping to curate for a group and I'd like to share your post with them as well as invite you to checkout the BuddyUP group. We are about helping each other create better posts as well as supporting each others work. We also provide mentoring to help your Steem grow. Two things that would have really made a difference in the views on this post would have been to use the homesteading and introduceyourself tags. Your post fits well into both and those are very strong tags that reach a lot of eyes here. Also the homesteading groups is very strong and supportive. Thanks for the post!
