A hot mess

FFF Photo a Day - Day 359

Christmas Eve on the farm is always a bit of a hot mess! A mixture of excitement, stress, preparation, relief and usually a few surprises! 

Whatever traditions you keep at this time of year, we hope that you get some time away from the usual routines to count your blessings, hug your loved ones and plan for an awesome 2016! 

Love at the end of the day...

At the end of a long day full of stress, strain and struggles, its so wonderful to bask in the simple love and acceptance that only a dog can give.... well as long as I keep scratching her ears!

Love is for the birds?!

This year we made some bird seed ornaments for our CSA shareholders. 

Our birds are happy we have a few left over for them! 

Dirt partners

Today, I honor my best friend, lover and dirt partner! 

As we celebrate our twenty-second year of marriage, I count my blessings that so many years ago, I found someone with which I have been able to share my dreams, my life and numerous follies! 

Together we have created a family, a farm... and a whole lot of dirt.

Happy Anniversary, love!

Ripple Effect

FFF Photo a Day - Day 47

Today was spent witnessing a dear friend become part of something I have taken for granted all my life. 

Eighteen years ago, we hosted an German exchange student for a year in our home. Who knew he would fall in love with a Canadian girl, make three beautiful babies and today swear his oath and became a Canadian citizen. 

A wonderful example of the ripple effect of one small decision. 

Congratulations and much love, Florian.
