This image filled my heart today.
The very beginning of our homestead journey {5 years ago}. A little scared and full of HOPE.
Now reflecting back there’s some bitter and sweet. Our kids and this place are blossoming beautifully. But it’s also time to let go just a little bit more, and let my kids experience more and feel all the feels. I’m not so good at that. I’m more grateful for every little moment that I have with them.
I’ve certainly learned a lesson or 73.
As fall approaches, we’re in another cycle of un-surity and hope. This week marks the end of our milk for the next 7 months, paired with the first successful goat breeding {I hope} of the season.
As a side note, this is our first year keeping bucks and so far I am actually loving it!
Despite our many failures we are moving into fall with momentum and joy. And I hope you are too.🍁 #regenerativeagriculture #antiquetractor #parenthood #seasonschange #seasonsofgrowth #seasonsofsacrifice #growthmindset🌱 #regeneration #farmlife #farmher #joyandpain #sunshineandrain #pumpitupnow

SOUND ON
After enjoying some time in the garden with these beautiful helpers this morning, I accidentally left this video on repeat while I took a shower. It was so uplifting to hear the sound of grateful #geese 💚

So my style of cooking doesn’t always yield good results. But recently I “Accidentally” made “curry” that did not disappoint! ~
So this is the essence of how I roll with a surprising plot twist: ~
I was cooking up some ground beef without a clue in the world as to what I was going to do with it. THEN I started to look around to see what we had, and realized we are low on produce so “how about coconut milk and freeze dried spinach flakes for a creamy meat dish?” In they went. But then I noticed the last few baby bell peppers in the fridge begging to be used, and realized we also had onions so... curry. “Maybe it won’t be weird with the piles of spinach in there.” 🤷🏻‍♀️ ~
To my amazement the family didn’t hate it. And my husband even gave me a thumbs up. Just kidding he also said it was “outstanding make it again” - and the kids actually agreed! ~
You’re welcome 😇 .

Feeling incredibly nervous but just produced my first YouTube video! It’s about this amazing breed of geese that’s quiet and friendly!!! It’s on my channel: Orange Grove Road. Or if you’d like to read the article that goes with it, the link is in my bio. .

Every time I make beet kvass I just have to stop and stare and take it in for a moment. .
