Welcome back to the farm!

Days turned into weeks.  And weeks turned into months.  I'm sorry... and I'm back.  I wish I had a better reason for my absence from writing.  I needed some time to figure out what I wanted to do with my spare time (HA!), my writing and the general direction of this blog.  During my early fall hibernation, I played around with the idea of stopping this blog all together, I thought about transitioning the blog to Instagram and then, I decided to change nothing.  Why fix something that was never broken?  This blog will remain what I always dreamed it would be... a place of respite for you... and for me.  Come to "The Wary Farm Wife" for a break from your busy life, your chaotic schedule, your frustrations and your worries.  This blog is a place that should feel like coming home, and as warm as tucking into bed, on a cold and crisp night, under the weight of well loved and well worn quilts. 

 

Welcome back to the farm, where you are always welcome!  Our squeaky front porch screen door is always open... at least for a little bit longer, winter is coming! (That's for Farmer J- my #1 GOT fan.)

 

But before I go, I'll give you a quick glance into what we've been up to for the past few months.  Since we last met up together, we've been busy on the farm.  We've been baking, harvesting honey, relaxing in the hammock (until it broke and Pickle and I crashed to the floor, don't worry- no injuries), knitting, celebrating family birthdays, taking full advantage of this beautiful fall weather with walk after walk after walk, playing in the leaves... and doing laundry.  There is always LOTS of laundry on the farm! 

 

 

With the combines slowly finishing up their harvest in the corn and soybean fields that surround our farm, I'm reminded daily that fall will soon come to an end and winter will be here before we can say "winter lambs." Before fall ends, we (meaning Farmer J) has more work to be done.  The brussel sprouts are ready to come out of the garden and the pigs will be converted to bacon, pork chops and BBQ pulled pork later this month.  The turkey is now frozen in the freezer and ready for Thanksgiving... but that's another tale for another day.

So, please come back and see me again.  I promise I won't be gone for nearly as long as last time.  My writing goes in fits and starts, so now I'll likely be writing everyday for a month.  I'm a fickle writer, always have been.
