I spent the better part of an hour just finding the right picture for our blog title. I still don't know if this is just the "right picture" but after looking through a ton of pictures we have on file on our computer, I realized once again that my husband picked a beautiful 25 acres to build our homestead on. There's just really a peace here that I wouldn't trade for anything.
Our kids keep wanting us to pull up our roots and move to the freeways and congestion of the big city, or question why we ever chose this area to raise them, but we totally enjoy this peace and quietude. Even our animals seem content being here....along with the herds of deer that use our orchard as their thoroughfare and all the other varmints and coyotes I've mentioned before, that leave their tracks all over the orchard. We like having this place for our grandkids to 
come enjoy...especially Grandpa's playground in the backyard, the Beasley Frisbee golf course, and a dug out pit for Jonathan to drive trucks crazy in. Then of course where else could we have the 50+ Studebakers and every kind of fruit tree imaginable that mainly goes to supplying our friends cuz we can't eat it all. It's a beautiful piece of Heaven I feel we have here and I'm so grateful for it. 
I like your title picture. I think you should leave it. I still don't think it's a farm, though. Maybe you should call iy Life in an Orchard, or Life Among Studebakers. How about...Is That Manure I Smell?
ReplyDeleteBTW, that last suggestion is just a joke.
ReplyDeleteha ha. So I'll put the vote out there....I do like Life Among Studebakers but what about The Rural Life or Way Out There or Rural Patagonia or Beasley Pom or the Land of Milk and Honey (since Ava calls me Honey and Dad can now become Milk). The ballot is out there for you guys to cast your vote or pencil in a write in. That's the subject; now talks amongst yourselves.
