"There is a moral emptiness that comes when we are deprived of the satisfaction of doing things for ourselves." ~Eric Sloane, The Seasons of America Past
I think anyone who has grown a garden, tapped a maple tree, raised a backyard flock of chickens, milked a cow/goat, knitted a dishcloth, sewed an apron, changed the oil in their car, baked bread, or watched their homeschooled child graduate and blossom in the world, knows that feeling of satisfaction.
