My current home sounds a lot like yours. 2 acre pond, 5 acre yard, 1/2 mile gravel driveway, pasture, cattle, and fences....
If something happened to me, I don't think there is any way the wife could handle what we have for very long. I understand exactly what you are doing, and may need to do it someday myself, after I retire.
You still have a lot of advise to offer, and can only read the AARP junk mail so long, so log back in to PB and laugh at all us still trying to keep up with the weeds, FA, otters, GBH, no rain, too much rain..........
