Time for #fridayintroduction y’all⁣
⁣
I’m Emmylou. I am the daughter of June and granddaughter of Loretta - the first, third-generation calf at Lucky Break Acres. ⁣
⁣
I’m the friendliest and bravest calf in this herd. I’ve already worked up the guts to get head scratches and special treats. I’m not so sure about that brush yet, though. ⁣
⁣
I love to hang with my bff Tammy Wynette. Sometimes we spoon next to the feeder after a big lunch of fermented hay. ⁣
⁣
When I get excited, I run around and kick my heels in the air, just like my Momma taught me. ⁣
⁣
If you’re ever driving by, be sure to yell “EmmyLouuuuuuu” out the window. I know my name and I might even give you a slight nod in your direction. ⁣
⁣
Nice to meet ya.

As much as this farm has changed our lives, it’s

As much as this farm has changed our lives, it’s nothing compared to what it’s done for our sweet girl, Gigi. ⁣
⁣
Before we lived here, we both worked crazy hours and she would often be home alone for 10 hours at a time. Her backyard was tiny and full of rocks instead of grass. In order for her to get exercise, we would have to take her on a walk and that didn’t happen as often as we would have liked. ⁣
⁣
For the past five years she’s had the run of the place. She has all the grass she could ever dream of, and we are with her all day, every day. She sleeps in our bed, eats all of her meals the same time we eat ours and is our constant companion in almost everything that we do. ⁣
⁣
And now we have a senior dog. We are not equipped. Gigi has always been a young dog, up until about a year ago. It’s something we are now having to address; her age is staring us in the face. ⁣
⁣
So now I’m asking all of you for your aging animal wisdom. What’s your advice?

Ice + wind + sunshine + snow = February in a nutsh

Ice + wind + sunshine + snow = February in a nutshell. Our weekend is chock full of projects and thinking about logistics for future farm projects, interspersed with jaunts outside to get some sunshine on our faces. What does your weekend look like?

Here’s a proven scientific fact that I may or ma

Here’s a proven scientific fact that I may or may not have just made up: Photos of flowers are one of the only known cures for a mid-February funk. Do you have any proven cures for getting out of a funk? Asking for a friend.

Emmylou LOVES Anthony and always nuzzles him for some cheek scratches. ⁣
⁣
We’ve never had a calf that is as friendly as her this early on. We are so lucky that she is a permanent member of our herd. ⁣
⁣
I left the farm for a short vacation with a friend last week. And while I’m a little sad I’m not sitting outside sipping a mojito in 80 degree sunshine today, I am always so happy to come home to moments like this. ⁣
⁣
What’s your favorite thing to come home to?

These girls did a double take today when they saw it was snowing again.⁣
❄️ ⁣
I love the snow until I have to do one thousand and one things in it. And then I get why everyone else around here rolls their eyes at me when I beg for snow! ⁣
❄️ ⁣
I still love snow even though I almost fell on my ass twice AND it took me twice as long as it should have to drive an hour and a half away. ⁣
❄️ ⁣
I am STILL team snow. Are you???

Loretta loves a snow day as much as I do. There is nothing quite like a peaceful and serene snowfall.

It’s Friday night and I’ve got a hot date with a paint can. ⁣
⁣
Remember when you worked really hard to plan where you were going out on Friday night? ⁣
⁣
And when you started your night at 10:30? ⁣
⁣
Tonight I Googled “how to make your own shuffleboard court” and am fantasizing about going to bed at 930. I’m old and it’s spectacular. ⁣
⁣
Tell me all of YOUR exciting Friday night plans. ⁣
