Home Sweet Home

Well it has been a heck of a winter for traveling for me.  After two trips to Illinois, one to Virginia and now finally I am back home from Texas!  I have learned that while I am extremely tied to the land, both literally and figuratively traveling as a passion of mine doesn’t have to go by the wayside.  These past 7 years of farming have actually allowed me to see more of the world than I ever thought, and usually with farming as a side note the whole time.

So as another trip is in the books, and only one lost wallet behind me (seriously I have the worst luck traveling!)  I am really excited to be getting home and not have another trip on my itinerary for awhile, plus my baby belly is getting a bit too big to be fitting nice and comfy in those seats!  I do know though that I am extremely lucky, because it’s not everyday that you get to join two things that you love in life and make it work.  And although traveling might become a bit more crazy with a kiddo in tow in the years to come, I doubt it will stop me from getting out there to enjoy what I love.

So here’s a few cartoons to give you a good Monday laugh on traveling…

New Farm Policy?

We went to our annual safety meeting this week and this turned out to be our favorite slide of the whole day:

Not sure how this will work on a farm but we might be willing to try haha! Happy Friday!

Winter Blast 2014!

If you can believe it, Oregon is looking to shut down once again due to WINTER STORM 2014!  Let the fear set it Oregonians, bundle up your loved ones, put chains on your cars, but for heavens sake don’t drive anywhere, tie a rope to the barn, we may get up to 3 inches of snow!!

It’s already sticking to the hazelnut trees!!

Hazelnut Trees & SnowYes all you Midwest folks I can hear your laughter from here!! 😉 And yes…ok…it did get a little tiny bit worse here over the course of the afternoon yesterday.  And I’m sure those of you who don’t live in the most tropical region of the banana belt like I do, did see some pretty good snow.

I heard from a farmer from one of those “I” states, that he is running out of room and places to push the snow…that’s how piled up they are!  Well I’m off to get the snow plow warmed up!
