A Dream Come True

My husband and I have wanted for at least 25 years to own a piece of land.  One in which we could grow what we wanted, hang a clothesline and spread out a bit. This blog will chronicle that journey.

Some members of my family have joined in this endeavor as well and so there will be posts and photos from our various lives journaling their progress as well.

I'll start with a bit of background about our hobby farm and how we have been blessed to call this place home.

My husband is a 23 year Army veteran and has recently been called to Shepherd a Lutheran Church in Pocatello, Idaho.  We found an almost 5 acre piece of property and we have been quickly settling in and filling it with animals.

We are boarding two horses that my kids get to ride.

 We added two pygmy goats named Bonnie and Clyde. This is Clyde.

 Then came 16 chickens, 13 of them were new babies and three roosters.

I bought three llamas off of Craigslist, one of them turned out to be pregnant and we now have four.

Lastly, we acquired a miniature horse named Acorn.

My garden has not done well this year, but this blog is about learning and growing.  Making changes and doing better.

Welcome! And thanks for reading!
