We had some cooler/wetter weather this week, which was AMAZING, but now October starts and we're back to sunny days in the 80's. This is crazy times! The garden is loving it though. Check out our latest trailcam guest too! Enjoy! Amy

This week I was pretty busy with Morganna's school stuff, but we still squeezed some sheep sales, garden harvests a woods walk, and more in. Enjoy! Amy

School Begins, Farm Changes too…

School Begins, Farm Changes too…

This week was going along calmly, then the weather forecast started looking sketchy. Now I'm publishing this blog with the generator running to give us electricity. We are on a planned shutdown due to extreme fire danger, low humidity, high winds, and high temps. Better to be safe than sorry! Enjoy! Amy
