I’ve decided to depart from my norm today and do something REALLY crazy; write a blog post. I feel like Rose in Titanic when she whispers “it’s been 84 years…”

I feel too awkward about my epic absence from here to really write much, so I’m going to cushion the blow and distract you guys with pictures. Actual posts later on. Perhaps.

For now, look at these and pretend it hasn’t been 1/4 of a decade. Thanks.

We read books about dogs to a group of cats.

We built a fence over the summer, and as a result there are zero bird poops on my porch!

We had an unruly litter of barn kitties this spring.

We marveled at the fact that we are able to live in such a beautiful place. ❤️

Turkeys survived Thanksgiving yet again.

Pretty much our only snow all year. It’s been an unusual winter.

This guy was home for Christmas! Oh my goodness.

The boy saved up and worked hard for something he wanted, and now a f#*%&ing snake lives in my house.

A horse colicked, but made a full recovery.

The latest batch of barn kitties has taken up residence in the nesting boxes.

To be frank with y’all, I have been drowning in overwhelm and exhaustion for the last couple of years. Our lives have been BANANAS for nearly a decade. Things have taken a bit of a turn in the last handful of months and I feel like I am alive. It’s both disorienting and glorious.

For as long as I can remember all I have ever wanted to do was write, and having felt a huge weight lifted lately, I am actually excited to do so again. I am excited about a lot of things. 😊

All that to say; expect better from this page, folks. It’s coming!

That’s all for now.

Be good.
