OK. It's not really a working farm... There is a barn, a tractor, a corral, a workshop, a potential chicken coop, and a pasture. My longtime pals Brodie & Bianca moved to this property outside Great Bend, KS, in mid FEB and I thought I could be of some use unpacking and helping out with projects. Plus I love being around them and their son, Zephyr, and their cats. This time around they also have a baby girl named IRIS and I wasn't sure how I was going to take to a newborn. BUT within the first week I started looking at myself as a nanny. Granted that is stretching it a lot.... I never changed a diaper, but I would hold the baby and entertain her in the highchair when BIANCA needed a break or her hands free. Julie brought it to my attention that I could also be considered a "dry nurse", certainly not a "wet nurse".
