Farm Fresh


Many people can't believe a girl born and bred in Northern Virginia can love living on a farm as much as I do.  My parents are amazed by the transformation, and simply, the happiness it brings us.  My inlaws, farmers from the Appalachian Mountains, even shake their heads and call me crazy.  I know I am quite counter-culture.  My ideas are outside most people's ideas of "normal" but it works for us.  Here's a snapshot of why I love living on my farm, being a caretaker of humans and animals alike.  They both bring us so much joy.



Horse kisses


Trotting through the fields


Free Ranging


Kids playing hide and go seek in gardens


Bountiful eggs


Cats sitting on eggs


Riding your favorite horse in the mountains


First rides with wind in your hair


Harvesting potatoes

Eggs of all colors and shapes

We are growing happiness.  Why don't you come over and soak in the view from here???
