Being on our small farm in a little rural town mak

Being on our small farm in a little rural town makes it easy to keep our heads down and live our normal, everyday lives while the world is on fire around us. Lord knows we’ve got enough work to keep us busy for 20 years. ⁣
⁣
But I can’t keep posting pictures of cows and cats and this bucolic life and pretend like nothing is going on. I’ve created a little serene corner of farm life here on our page and I like to keep it light. ⁣
⁣
Being silent feels like I’m ignoring the issue and that’s a major part of the problem. ⁣
⁣
We are disgusted, incensed and feel helpless. ⁣
We are worried about our law enforcement friends who are good and who do good work and are in the midst of this unfolding.⁣
We understand that it’s not enough to just be angry with what’s going on. ⁣
And we know that our opinions don’t really matter. ⁣
⁣
We don’t have anything important or life-changing to add to this conversation, but we know we can listen, we can learn and we can be better allies. ⁣
⁣
We can do our own “little bit of good” right where we are. ⁣

Meet our newest little guy. Loretta calved early W

Meet our newest little guy. Loretta calved early Wednesday morning and he is a BIG boy. ⁣
⁣
When our first two heifers Patsy and Loretta were pregnant, the vet came over for vaccinations. We asked him approximately 125 questions and he patiently answered all of them. He told us the best thing that could happen would be for us to wake up and see a new calf out in the pasture. ⁣
⁣
And he was right - it WAS the best thing. To wake up and see Loretta standing out in the pasture with her new calf already nursing was a complete gift. Anthony and I gave each other a big hug, and then immediately ran outside. ⁣
⁣
We’ve had seven calves born here since it’s become our farm. 7! It’s still exciting each time for us and I’m glad that hasn’t worn off. I’m also glad for no more middle of the night bed checks. ⁣
⁣
Cheers to new babies AND sleeping through the night!

Lilac and Lily of the Valley in the same bouquet will definitely remind you of your Grandma, in the best possible way.⁣

This is Spring, going out with a bang.

Thank you for your sacrifice, your bravery and your heroism.

Anthony sent this photo to me while I was still in bed. He took over morning chores and I got to sleep in. ⁣
⁣
I have to admit, I was a tiny bit envious when I saw this pic. Sure, I got to lay around a bit more - but I missed out on this. The smell of morning pasture, listening to our girls chomp quietly on the grass, drinking coffee while the cats rub against your leg. It’s a dreamy way to wake up. I know where I’ll be tomorrow morning. ⁣
⁣
We are hoping today is (finally) the day our herd grows from seven to eight. What are you hoping for today?

These tulips just. won’t. quit. ⁣
⁣
My friend Cathy bought two Spring bouquet subscriptions. Last week when she came to pick up her flowers, she told me that she bought two so she could have one for herself and one for whomever she thought might need flowers this week. ⁣
Isn’t that the sweetest thing ever? ⁣
Also, who wants Cathy as their new bff? 🙋🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
These tulips may or may not be the reason I ordered four times as many for next Spring. My name is Michelle and I’m a flowerholic.

Who loves cool rainy weather all day, every day? NOT ME. But these guys do, and I love THEM, so I guess that’s called making lemonade out of lemons. ⁣
⁣
Our most recent dose of bad weather has gotten us caught up on inside projects and we are chomping at the bit to get some plant babies out in the ground. What about you guys - are your gardens started yet? ⁣
⁣
Wish us luck and extra bendy backs as we embark on Planting Season 2020! ⁣
