 | Today, I took a moment to sit and breathe with the awareness of how life has a way of changing. There are moments, as we look more deeply into where we are and where we are going, we discover some profound things about ourselves and our self development. It brings me hope I will continue to become a more authentic, whole, and self aware human. The last few years have brought many developments. As I read through these blog posts, a profound sense of gratitude and awareness...Click HERE to read more |

Working on our chicken coop/goat hut has been a long and arduous process. Part of this is due to the fact we had the goal of building it almost entirely out recycled, old, and reclaimed items.

Springtime in Wyoming is DRASTICALLY different than anything I grew up with in the South land. Spring always spoke of green grass, dogwood blossoms, bunnies, Sunday's Best Dress, the chirping of birds, and families getting together around a well placed table.
Wyoming boasts a spring with very little promise so far. Snow still covers the mountains and the air is crisp and cold; many nights still dropping down into the single digits. I haven't seen hide nor hair of the birdies singing spring into being. Read More>>> 
For years, it has been a HUGE dream to have milk goats! Luckily, the cowboy shares my enthusiasm for healthy eating, raising as much or our own food as possible, and a love for goats. Having combed the local buy/sale list and asking around regarding who sells goats in the area, I finally came into contact with a wonderful family who had just the "babies" for us!
