Over night on July 30th there was a big storm for the area. Usually, no big deal but as you know there is no electricity in the house and we rely on the cool breeze coming in when we sleep. Most of the windows had to be closed because the wind was blowing and theContinue reading “The big storm”

Chad is beyond excited to have a workshop and I am beyond excited to have a barn for animals. Chad was still in Texas at this time dying to be at the farm. The barn was quite a hot mess when we purchased it but it just needed some love. There was a room inContinue reading “The barn”

We knew when we bought the property there was a water leak at the main on our side not the city side. Which is why I did not get the water turned on until after we were there. The water was leaking over a gallon a minute which can get pretty pricy pretty quickly. ButContinue reading “Water Leak and yard work”

Home from Kentucky 8/11/21 Sorry I have not been able to write much lately. I will try to update with you over the next few days on all that has been happening. Chad was able to write a couple posts for me while I was away but being that he was working and having toContinue reading “Home from Kentucky”

On 7-21-2021 We officially became the owners of the Amish Farm. How exciting, and intimidating all in one breathe. Early that morning is when we started the 3-stop packing and moving adventure. I finally got to Kentucky Saturday night the 24th of July, 2021. We chose to stop and get a hotel room in LexingtonContinue reading “Finally Made It 7-27-21”

As I have mentioned The Pink Squirrel Farmstead BnB is our long-term goal. It seems like just a dream still. I suppose when you know it will be almost 5 years before Chad plans to retire and we get to move to our DREAM FARM it is just surreal. At times it seems there isContinue reading “1265 miles to go and 1622 days to get there ……..”

As I have previously discussed the decision to purchase my Dream Farm wasn’t just an overnight whim. We have been on the look for several years for the perfect place. First, we looked in the Utah/Colorado area for land. We almost purchased an undeveloped parcel of property in Colorado near Durango. Let me tell youContinue reading “My TikTok Heroine 7-23-2021”

So today I woke up early with Chad when his alarm went off for work. After careful evaluation of the clock, I decided it would be in the best interest for the rest of civilization if I set an alarm and got more shut eye (after all that work yesterday and on top all thatContinue reading “Glad I got the optional Insurance……….”

Its CLOSING DAY!!!!  We are officially Kentucky Farm owners!! Without further ado here is the long-awaited photos of our farm. This morning we got up early (not my favorite thing to do) and headed to Lubbock to pick up the moving truck. Picked up my parents from the hotel on the way to Lubbock andContinue reading “Today our dream came true…..”

Yesterday evening Chad called me to make some treat boxes for a couple of his employees. I love getting to bake…. Not necessarily last minute but I don’t mind. Chad had told our local coffee shop about my bakery business and they wanted to try some out. I was able to take them some royalContinue reading “Last Minute”
