Today a young couple came over and I walked the farm with them. It was so exciting to hear their young minds full of passion about what could be done here. We talked about cattle. We talked about crops. We talked about stocking the pond with fish. We talked about hunting deer. I told them to have at it. My mind would love to do these things but my body is just not up to it.
So today I hopped fences. I carried around a big stick to ward Off snakes and over eager heifers. I dreamed of adventures and projects. My adhd was on mind overload. The sunshine brightened my face. I had a renewed sense of drive.
Chuck and I normally host exchange students. I would like this farm to be a gift to them in the form of an unforgettable school year. The more projects and adventures the more memories they will go home with.
We ended the day sitting on an exquisite tree with their four year old daughter. Under this tree I have started a fairy garden. The little girl and I discussed the nooks and crannies of the tree and the possibilities of where the fairies could live. I will have to add to that project. I cannot wait for the dancing ladies to bloom there.
All in all, it was a great day. I gained new insight of what the purpose of this farm is. This young couple did a great deed and touched my heart today. Thank you God for sending them my way.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
