After a year of waiting, my horses are here! Our friend Billy had asked me last year if I wanted a Tennessee Walker mare he had, along with her foal. I said, yes-of course. We have 3 miniatures, but they are only a bit over 4 feet tall. I wanted a horse I could ride.

It has been too hot to do anything in the midday hours here lately. We have been waiting until 5-6 PM to go back to the garden to get weeding done. It was really nice this evening, as it was breezy. A storm is approaching. We took all the kids out back today & some… » read more
Well folks, it’s that time again. We have been out most of the day planting. And from last year’s experience, we know that gardening & me do not mix. I am hoping to have better luck this year & keep my good eye, haha. We got a few things planted today: potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, sweet… » read more

Will went to our local Amish store, Detweiler’s Country Store, last week to purchase more animal feed & came… » read more
We would like to thank Turkey Lurkey for volunteering, kind of, to be our Easter Sunday dinner. We enjoyed watching you grow & gobble in your pen. When you first came to our home, we had no idea what a birdzilla you would turn into, but we are thankful that you grew big enough to… » read more
I am so happy the weather has finally been staying nice. It gives me a chance to go out & spend time with the animals. Tom, our 2 year old, really enjoys hanging out in the goats pen. He likes to chase Opal, our baby. She is getting pretty easy to catch. We used to… » read more
I decided to talk Tom out for a walk around our farm today. I wanted to check on the animals & pat the horses a bit. Unfortunately when Will & I went out earlier, we found our baby billy, Peanut, dead in the goat shed. It looks like he may have gotten smothered as he… » read more

One of the many reason I loved Florida was NO SNOW. I grew up in Virginia, we didn’t get a lot of snow but we had our years. I was glad to get away from the cold winters & snow & ice. My 2 oldest children had seen snow before, while visiting their Dad &… » read more
Ok, I had the bomb of a lifetime dropped on me last night. My brother Chris called to let me know he had JUST found out he has a 19 year old son. I am still in the “WOW” stage of comprehension.

Well, the Christmas season is upon us once again. I have been very busy, as has Will. We try to keep Christmas Eve as simple as possible. I made a bacon, egg & cheese casserole for dinner. While dinner was in the oven, we put up the tree. We always put it up Christmas Eve… » read more
