Currently my "farm stand" is just a pickup spot for pre-orders, but I'm considering making a few things to offer regularly. Duck and quail eggs, for sure. Maybe some herbal remedies? Elderberry syrup, fire cider, raw local honey. What else would be good to stock?

Good morning, friends. As I sit and sip my coffee while the kids are still asleep, I’m soaking in this rare quiet moment - the kind that feels like a deep breath before the rhythm of the homestead kicks in.

The animals will need tending, the garden will be calling, and the day will quickly fill with work that’s both beautiful and demanding. It’s a full life - exhausting, messy, always stretching us in ways we didn’t expect.

Some days feel like a constant cycle of feeding, fixing, cleaning, and starting all over again. And yet, even here - especially here - God’s blessings are everywhere.

They’re in the early morning stillness before the chores begin. The sound of ducks chattering as the sun comes up. The dirt under our nails and the food we’ve grown with our own hands. The children learning, growing, and working right alongside us. And the strength He provides when we feel like we’ve run empty.

Even on the really hard days - when something breaks, plans fall apart, or the to-do list feels longer than the daylight - His grace meets us right in the middle of it. Not because we’re doing it perfectly, but because He is.

This life isn’t easy, but it’s rich in the ways that really matter. It’s a daily reminder that we are provided for, equipped, and sustained.

So today, I’m choosing to slow down and see it - the blessings tucked into the ordinary rhythms of this life.

I hope you do too. 💛

I looked in on my male ducks this morning to see how they were doing. All the black ones were huddled around the food while the others were over in the corner of their pen. Are my ducks racist? 😂

My crocheted faux hornets nests are the best at keeping wasps and carpenter bees away! No chemicals, no traps, just hang it and forget it!

You've heard the saying don't put all your eggs in one basket... bet you didn't know it was because it could break the basket handle!

(that's not really why, lol, but it is what happened to me!)

Rescued this beautiful Eastern Kingsnake today. Cleaned his wounds with povidone-iodine, and applied triple antibiotic ointment. We've got him in a clean, safe, warm enclosure he can rest and recuperate in while he heals.
