Good morning from Costa Rica. I pray this brings you a breath of beauty a moment of pause.

We are currently out of town during this insane snow storm. It took an insane amount of planning, logistics and incredible humans to make this happen!! No one should have to be a farmer in this when they didn't sign up for it, but yet, people are doing this for us. Thank you will never be enough. Our humans and animals at home are being taken care of. Couldn't have planned a better or worse time to be gone! Thank you to EVERYONE helping us, from the bottom of our hearts. I pray you find a village as incredible as ours.

We are loving this salt from . We would love to start carrying in the farm stand. Are you interested?

I know people have been missing Rosie videos. Jason is doing most of the barn work when it is cold (he is a good man, get you one like him ladies). I do most of the social media, so videos are hard to come by. She is living her best piggie life and pregnant (as far as we know). I promise to do more soon!

What's for breakfast, for our dogs?! Our working dogs work hard at keeping our animals safe, which means they need extra protein! Our pups receive a 1/2 lb of raw deer meat, 1 egg, and a bowl of 21% protein dog food every morning and a similar meal in the evening. These working pups receive the best nutrition to keep their bodies in tip top condition. We harvest deer from our property to feed them year round and have a dedicated freezer for their food. This is both best for them and most cost efficient for us.

As we look ahead to the coming year, remember this: you are not bound by who you’ve been. Each day is a fresh beginning — a chance to grow, to dream, and to become. You can uncover passions you never knew were there, or rediscover the love and purpose that’s been quietly waiting within you. Even if the path ahead feels uncertain, your potential is real. You have the courage. You have the strength. You can become exactly who you’re meant to be.I believe in you. Dig deep, friend — your next chapter is waiting.“And suddenly you just know... it’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” — Meister Eckhart

Trust the process. You never know where you could end up.

Happy New Year. Today, gratitude looks like God’s provision and a farmer who knows when something just isn’t right.This morning, Jason went out to feed the animals like he always does. Rainey didn’t meet him at the barn door, and she wasn’t in the pasture either. He started calling for her and finally spotted her in the pond on the far side of the pasture, stuck in the ice.

He grabbed me, a ladder, and we ran back to the water. The plan was to use the ladder to give her something to climb on, but it was clear that wasn’t going to work. So into the pond he went, waist-deep in freezing water, and pulled Rainey out while I ran her back to the house.I threw Rainey straight into a hot bath in our master bathroom—which meant I climbed in with her to keep her calm. After about five minutes, she graduated to a full spa session by the fire. It was shocking how dry her undercoat still was once we got past the outer layer; Great Pyrenees have an incredibly thick double coat that traps warm air close to their skin and helps repel moisture, much like a down jacket or good winter gear. That coat helps keep them warm in winter, cool in summer, and even gives them extra protection if a predator ever did manage to get ahold of them. Rainey’s fur probably helped buy her the time she needed this morning.

Rainey has always walked on our pond in the winter when the ice is thick. How she knows when it’s safe, we’ll never understand. In four years, this is the first time she has ever fallen through. She went in right in the middle of the deep end (we could see where the ice was broken) and managed to fight her way to the edge, but just couldn’t pull herself the rest of the way out.

She may be an outside dog, but she is a member of our family just like your pets are to you. We would do anything for her. She is the best dog we have ever owned, hands down. Therefore, my house now smells like wet farm dog, my bathtub got an emergency scrub, all the “nice” towels are in the wash (closest thing to dry her off with) and the bathroom may never smell quite the same. But Rainey is more than okay, and she’ll be back on duty tonight, doing what she was born to do. For now, she’s soaking up belly rubs, snuggles, and a very well-earned nap by the fire. While she doesn't mind coming in the house, she is always busting at the door to go back out.

We suspect her puppy, Sunny, may have led the charge on the ice, as she had some icicles on her fur too. That is not normal for either dog. She was dry as a bone in her undercoat, but just to be safe, by the fire she sits also. (In a crate, she still lacks some manners at 6 months old).

Farming is wonderful, but it is never dull. All of this happened before coffee, before breakfast, before checking a sick kiddos temperature. Grateful for this life, for knowledge, and for an amazing teammate. Btw, these two get TONS of belly rubs and snuggles, just normally in the pasture or barn. There is no shortage of love here.

This is what happens when nature gets drunk and forgets how to behave. While we may love the beautiful day, it truly isn't good for nature overall. The bees wake up hungry and eager for food and water. These bees are digging thru the feeder to get corn dust.

While you are soaking up the final glow or Christmas, I am thinking about the spring flower season to come. So many corners of the garden left untouched when the season ended. So when a 60 degree December day rolls in, I head outside with the bees. None the less a little confused, but eager to soak up this gift of nature. The paths are hoed in anticipation of spring weeds, unkept corners tames, and sprouts examined. This, just like life is fleeting. Take the moments where you can. I will gladly take these blisters.
