Ok, friends. I love the holidays. And I really love time off of work. But I am so ready to be back on a normal schedule. Christmas and New Year's should not be allowed to fall in the middle of the week. Who else's last two weeks went something like "work a half day, get a… Continue reading Sunday Snaps: January 6, 2019

Meet Jeffrey!
I can't believe it has taken me over a month to share this here, but I made another exciting purchase! I bought an alpaca! Everyone, meet Jeffrey! Jeffrey is a 1 1/2 year old Huacaya alpaca. He is super fluffy, extremely friendly, and loves snuggles! As with most of my purchases, buying Jeffrey was a… Continue reading Meet Jeffrey!
A Lotta More Days of Corn
Friends, I'm slacking over here. I'm blaming it on farrowing season, and show season, and boating season, and just a plain old busy life! Yesterday marked day 108, and in the past 40 days I've only been out to take pictures of the corn three times! So we're going to back track a little and… Continue reading A Lotta More Days of Corn
35 More Days of Corn
A little over a month ago, I shared "31 Days of Corn," a collection of photos taken during the first 31 days after planting corn in the field behind our house. Since then, the corn has grown from 2 feet tall, to nearly 10 feet tall! For this second series of photos, I even had… Continue reading 35 More Days of Corn
A Pie Baker in the Making
Lately I have taken up the hobby of making pies. Up until about 3 weeks ago, I had never made a pie, aside from maybe those pudding pies my Grandma Blanche liked to whip up during summer vacation. But as far as rolling dough, following a recipe, and using a real pie dish (not those… Continue reading A Pie Baker in the Making
31 Days of Corn
I feel like I start out every single blog post by saying that I've been failing at blogging. And here we are again. It seems like it's been forever since I've sat down and updated you on anything. I just have a few too many irons in the social media fire. I'm one of those… Continue reading 31 Days of Corn
Sunday Snaps: April 8, 2018
I am so excited to share this week's photos! When I first started Sunday Snaps, I had two main goals: Share current photos that show what's happening around the farm, and Get better at using my camera. Obviously the first goal is pretty easy to accomplish. Any time I share photos, you get a small… Continue reading Sunday Snaps: April 8, 2018
Sunday Snaps: April 1, 2018
It's almost 5 o'clock and I'm trying to figure out where in the heck my weekend went! Don't you just hate when that happens? Sometimes I can blame it on being busy, but this weekend I'm afraid I spent more time sleeping than anything. Oh well, sometimes you just need a lazy weekend. I don't… Continue reading Sunday Snaps: April 1, 2018
Sunday Snaps: March 4, 2018
Sunday, we meet again. As I sit here watching Fixer Upper, drinking my coffee, and scrolling through photos, I can't ignore the fact that there are muddy paw prints on my kitchen floor, dirty dishes in the sink, and laundry chilling on the couch just waiting to be folded. I have a pretty hefty to-do… Continue reading Sunday Snaps: March 4, 2018
