Long Time, No See!

Please feel free to wipe away the cobwebs as you enter this post. I know it has been a very long time since I've blogged or emailed. Sorry about that. I don't need to tell you that this past year has been a doozy. I didn't want to waste your time or flood your inbox until I had something to say. SO, ready or not...here we go!

Things are gonna change around here

First of all, you may notice the site has a new name and web link. For a number of reasons, I've decided to remove my full name from my content to maintain a level of privacy. I have a golden opportunity if and when I decide to rejoin my field of work. I am also navigating what our social media will look like. I honestly find it daunting to come up with social posts that go along with blog articles. While allowing others to see me genuinely, but not intimately. It’s a LOT.

That is one of the main reasons I stopped blogging. I was also feeling spread thin after moving into our newly built home and homeschooling the kids. Ten out of ten would NOT recommend. I put writing on the back burner while we navigated new territory and the world around us became...different. In the meantime, we dove into the work of making this house a home. Oh, and I became a chicken farmer. Or "Chicken Tender," as we say in the industry. I will continue to blog because I love to write and find truth in the world around me. Life on the farm has made that perspective that much richer and the story so much fuller.

Introducing Feather Green Fields

So without further adieu, I'd like to introduce you to Feather Green Fields! One goal I've had for our property is to maintain its agricultural contribution. What once was a hayfield has become a place for us to breathe deeply, sprawl out, and take it all in. I daydream about this becoming a place for others to stop on the way for fresh cut flowers, fragrant herbs, and a rainbow of eggs. Hence the name, Feather (chickens) Green (herbs and flowers) Fields (ummm…well, it once was a field).

In our short time here, I have experienced this transformation. I’ve been able to move from the pressure of creating to the beauty of cultivating. Now don’t get me wrong…makers gonna make…it is simply a different canvas. There are many blank walls to fill and little lives all around us to care for. There is always work to be done…and I love it!
