Monarchs on Milkweed

Some of our Monarch butterfly caterpillars have grown up! 🦋😃

Peace

Wild Black Raspberries

We picked some of our wild raspberries this morning, until the rain started. Maybe next week we can get more. If these don't get eaten right away, I might be able to make something with them! 😁

Lunar Beauty

I had forgotten about the full moon, and would have missed it completely if I hadn't gone out late in the evening to check on my gardens. The moonlight really added to the beauty of the farm fields! It was such a peaceful night. 💙💜💙

First Harvest

First harvest of the season...kohlrabi! I'm trying out some new things this year. I've never grown okra or watermelon, either, so it will be fun to see how they turn out! I'm also growing traditional veggies like potatoes, onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes (14 plants, what was I thinking?!), beans, peas, beets, acorn squash and pumpkins. Looking forward to some good eatin'!

Father's Day 2021

Happy Father's Day to the best husband & father we could ever ask for! He's always willing to go the extra mile for us. Whether working at his job, or working on our homestead, he's unstoppable! However, he also takes time to play & have fun with the kids. We love him so much!!

Very Hungry Caterpillars

Monarch butterfly caterpillars are all over our milkweed! It's amazing to think that once these guys are done transforming, they might stop at my Dad's house in Texas before overwintering in Mexico. 🦋

Babysitting Lambs

We're babysitting our friends' lambs to see if this is a direction we might like to go with our little farm. We'll be producing ...
