Trying out something new. A new way of living. A more simple life. One farmer. One farmer's wife. Two boys. Two rams. Six ewes. Two goats. Two pigs. Three rescue kittens. Nine hens. Two bee hives. Room to roam. Room to get dirty. Room to grow in mid-west soil. A wary farm wife because this is a new life for our family. But God is good and so are fresh eggs.

The colors of July
Our 4th started with a sweet, colorful donut and ended with a beautiful bang! In between, we went on a holiday picnic, spent time with family, participated in a boat parade on a GREAT lake and watched the sun set over the water!
Summer is all about...
playing the board game your oldest son designed all on his own.
No school means staying up later and having energy to make and create a game.
Thrift find
I LOVE lilies of the valley. These flowers are my birth flowers and were the flowers I held when Farmer J and I got married. I found this original painting at a local thrift shop... for a whopping $6 dollars. I think this artwork will look amazing in our 1900's craftsman bungalow. I'll post another picture once its found some wall space in our home.
Cat nap
JJ has a new best friend in Fisherman Finn. It's truly amazing to see how much joy this 5 pound animal has brought into this little boy's life. And I love seeing how kind, gentle and loving my boy is to his newest furry friend. Our rescue kittens have won our hearts and added so much laughter into our lives. Now...the goats are not sure about the wee little kittens-- they are actually quite scared of them! It's a pretty funny sight to see.
