Skunked

As I type, my husband is on the phone with a peacock guy… When do you know you have an animal hoarding problem? So we have officially added TWO mule foot hogs to the party here at Shalom farm. Wilbur and Charlotte are their names, of course. They are actually super cute and very friendly. I, for one, am slightly …

Hit the road!

We took off from Minden Nevada, on our way to Summertown Tennessee, by way of a three week road trip, at the end of April! It was a blast. We saw and did A LOT and we want to invite you along for the ride, as we always do. The first leg of our journey was heavy on the driving. …

GTC!

THE VLOG IS BACK!! We do our vlogging on a desk top and we haven’t had a desk or internet to set up said computer and get these bad boys out! But rest assured, we have footage for days from our most recent cross country adventures and we can’t wait to get them all up and out to you guys! …

Home Sweet Home

Wow has there been a lot going on down on the farm! I’ve been missing you Readers, but I just haven’t had a hot second to sit down and catch you all up on the goings on here at Shalom Farm! So come on along with me, and I’ll give ya the run down! First of all, the population here …

Life is short

I’m sitting here on my front porch… The air is heavy and wet. It’s been raining today, but it’s not raining right now. The sky is still bright, but it’s fading. The clouds look like purple cotton candy stretched out across a pale blue blanket. They float. There is a mist down here in the south… in the mornings and …

7 days

It took me 7 days to fall in love with my husband. May 30th was our 9 year wedding anniversary, so I thought I’d step away from the farm for a second and go back with you, Readers, to where this whole journey to the farm really began. Because there would be no ‘this’ without ‘us.’ And the ‘us’ here, …

The Thunder Rolls

The last few days have been hard days. I finally cried. But just for about a minute. I hit a small breaking point, and I’m sure it won’t be the last, but it’s not a comfortable thing- to break. Sometimes, just when you least expect it, life overwhelms. It all started when I decided to unpack boxes. We’re mostly done …

The adventure continues…

Don’t you just hate when spiders make you think they can think? I opened the front door the other night, and a huge black spider darted away from the welcome mat as if he was trying to sneak in and he had been caught red handed! He made it to the grass before I could kill him, but I almost …

Life on the farm

It feels like 2938 days since I last blogged, but surely that can’t be true. The days seem to just come and go here, and we are absolutely constantly working. Like I’m not sure when the last time I took a shower was. I mean, what’s the point? I’m currently sitting at my beautiful new farm table- the only furniture …

I’m coming home

Readers… we’re almost there. I can’t even believe it myself. We’ve hit 10 of the 50 states in the last 3 weeks on this crazy journey together, and as we’re literally coming to our final destination in a few short hours, I’m struck with ALL the feels. One, without question, is gratitude. Thank you Lord. Man, we have been so …
