Living here is a lot more work that I had expected. Though it is really nice to have our own land, the long and hard journey was only just worth it. I was very excited that I finally qualified for the homestead act now that I have turned twenty-one, and I hope that I will be able to supply for myself at least for the next five years. On the way we ran into some Native Americans but luckily nothing bad happened and we were able to keep going without anyone else getting hurt. It was nice that the land we got was so cheap, but there are so many issues that make the land hard to contain.
The farm land here is do dry and it is very hard to get any crops to grow. There are many bad weather conditions as well, which is making everything that much harder. We had a drought not too long ago, and that only adds to the lands dry nature! We are barley able to make enough food for a living, and after working hard during the day to harvest or grow food, we go back to cabin which is not very nice. We were unable to find very good materials and all of our homes are less then fancy. Someone I know even has mud in the walls of their home. But I know that I have to keep trying and work hard, and soon I will be able to make a honest living and truly live my life!
Because Leonardo Da Vinci was of many Da Vinci that created art. Another reason would be that in early Italy during the renaissance. It was only proper to use full on going names to greet, cast farewells and to mention in papers or documents. Also if Your giving credit to someone for their work, if they sign their full name on their work, you should too out of respect.
