People often tell me, “You’re so lucky—living the dream life with all those animals.”
And you know what? In a way, they’re right.
It is a dream. But like most dreams worth chasing, it’s wrapped in sacrifice.

You don’t see the 10-hour workday I finish before heading to the barn.
You don’t see the stalls I clean in the dark, the hay I haul in the rain, or the fences I fix in the snow.
You don’t see me sitting next to a sick calf at 2 a.m., whispering, “Please pull through.”
You don’t see the vet bills, the sore muscles, or the tears after heartbreak.

What you do see are the snapshots I choose to share—the adorable goat, the napping pony, the peaceful pasture. And yes, those moments are real. They keep me going. They remind me why I do this.

Would I trade this life for something easier? More relaxing? Less stressful?
Nope.
Because this isn’t just a job—it’s a calling.
These animals are my heart.
This land is my therapy.
And this life—tough as it is—is exactly where I’m meant to be.

I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💛

What's growing On? I have always loved experimenting with different way of growing. Ever since I was a child, we always grew using what we had on hand. The only thing we ever spent money on was seeds if the ones we saved didn't germinate. I have done so much with so little for so long ,I can now do anything with nothing. Enjoy this years projects( ok, I did buy some seeds, and the spraypaint)

Cant afford a raised bed? No yard? No problem. I have been using styrofoam coolers for years. You can get them free or cheap. No lid ? No problem. If you do have the lid you can start plants extra early and put the lid on at night for frost protection. What's also fun is you can take your garden with you, so you can have fresh greens and herbs while camping out. Even if you live in an apartment, if you have a balcony you can have a garden.
