Life on #129acres

I went for a hike on some very icy trails this morning. I met two women who couldn’t stop laughing about how slippery the conditions were (they had just crawled up a slope because they couldn’t stand on it). It was a great lesson on facing adversity. They didn’t get frustrated, upset, scared or quit. They kept going moving carefully—and joyously—forward.
Living life with love and joy. We made it to 1,000 hours (our second year trying). I am grateful for amazing experiences, magical memories and a whole lot of fun. And I’m excited to start again in January.
Once upon a time, some people thought the earth was flat. Once some people thought if you believed differently from them you were wrong. You shouldn’t learn about things that are different. You should be quiet.
One day, my father, he told me
Every day at the farm is full of special, simple moments. I do not take this life for granted. Especially when the world feels like such a heavy place. I see extremists with power imposing their vision on society–regardless of the beliefs citizens hold. People who hold power are using old and extremely narrow thinking to make decisions for today.
Making hay while the sun shines. This day is a high point always. I’m so grateful to live here and share these experiences with our girl. It never gets old. Thanks @chriscross4653 and team.
