She earned the name "Chewie" because she looks a bit like a Wookie . Also, she chews on everyone and everything, including unsuspecting visitors. Enjoy this virtual visit--luckily for you--minus the lamb slobber <3

Hi, I'm Lydia! And I'm really not sure why I am taking the time to write here...as time is rather limited these days! Mostly, this is going to be a space to share the overabundance of pictures from our little farm on the hill in the beautiful rural town of Mossyrock, WA. I think. But perhaps this will also be a place to share our journey...from our marriage in 2012, to the battle we fought with stage 4 cancer the same year, to the blessing of a beautiful, incredible Snowflake baby in 2017, to the acquisition of our beloved family farm in 2020. To put it lightly...it's been a WILD ride...and raising our chickens, cows, dairy sheep, and making lots of soap and dryer balls has definitely been part of my mental health plan, ha! (And for Richie, making lots of hay and driving his tractors!) It's been 8 years of leasing and renting, learning, striving, hard, hard work, and doing our absolute best to cherish each moment for what it is...a precious, precious gift. Perhaps this will be the only post I ever put here, because I'll get too busy and the novelty will have already worn off, lol. Our passion has always been for farming. I don't know why or how or what caused us both to be so "into" the land and growing things. One thing is certain though…through it all, God has been so faithful and so good, and his abundant love is overwhelming! Perhaps no one will even see these posts...and that's fine too. At least my Facebook friends won't have to put up with so many lamb pictures if I mostly put them here ;-) |
