Heeeere We Go!

Well, we are diving into the world of blogging and vlogging as we move forward to the next adventure of life out at “the farm” as it has been called for years now. Ironically, there is no farm here at all; just remnants of what once was. We have dealt with barbed wire fencing intertwined and literally grown into the trunks of trees. We have found horse shoe after horse shoe, yokes and other work horse paraphernalia that hearkens back to a time when the land was being utilized. We have removed at least a hundred used bags of chicken feed and realize that the soil in certain vicinities is probably just a huge, huge pile of poop. 

The outbuildings that were stuffed to the gills with stuff would have been a picker’s dream if everything were not coated in a film of oil and grease. We found out right quickly that the previous owner was definitely a mechanic of sorts, or at least really liked collecting mechanical pieces but not really doing anything with them. The scrap metal pile was a workout, if nothing else. 

Over the last few years, we have gutted, scrubbed, chopped, dug, mowed, painted and whatever other action verbs you can think of, our way towards a new home and work space. We look forward to sharing the next stages of our adventure with you, so stay tuned! We’ve got a lot coming your way.

  1. Well done Rhonda! But I seem to remember another blog you used to have, am I right?
    I find WordPress not as user friendly as Blogger was, so I don’t post on mine as often as I should.
    I am looking forward to reading your posts and keeping up with your creative pursuits!

    1. Hi Phyllis! Thank you very much. I DID have a blog many moons ago, via Blogger, and yes, it was MUCH more user friendly. Alas, I have switched to using WordPress because it is both a blog and a website, so it has more options for future stuff that I will want to add. 🙂 This has taken a very long time to get to this point, but the learning has been interesting! Please make sure to stop by often!
