A special hunt on veterans day, here’s to hoping for a buck, but if not, treestand therapy is well worth the day!
The crisp autumn air bites at my cheeks as I navigate the familiar trail, the crunch of leaves underfoot a soothing rhythm to my soul.

I just don’t. Friendships require a lot of work and can create a lot of stress in your life when you’re already being pulled in 100 different directions. It’s pretty rare that I let anyone in.

It’s always amazing that you can form a strong friendship with someone you see once a year…if that! Continue reading “Have you met my friend Mia? She’s pretty awesome…”
Like most folks nowadays, my day consists of some extra social media surfing.
Because we aren’t allowed to do so many of the things that we enjoy, I find myself reading more long-form posts, articles, and spending a good amount of time on Pinterest. Continue reading “Advice from a Farmer’s Wife”
