For some reason Justin and I share the same itch to dabble in lots of different hobbies. Some of these hobbies are compact and portable while others take up a lot of space and/or have lots of accessories making them challenging to pursue in a small space. Now that we are at Crow Farm we finally have the missing ingredient we have been waiting for…space!

Our girls have gone above and beyond these past 6 months making every small holiday into a giant, well planned celebration. Valentine’s Day was never a holiday I cared for much but the girls made it quite special for us this year. We also finished up our history lesson on the Hopi people so we had another special school celebration as well.

We got lucky this year and got to celebrate the New Year twice! Once with family and another time with friends. We had been deprived of friends and family for so long we decided to pour as many as we could to Crow Farm at once!

Before we bought Crow Farm we were told that flooding sometimes happens here. The flood plane goes into the hayfields a bit but doesn’t reach the house. It’s one thing to see pictures and hear stories, it’s another thing to actually see it with your own eyes.

What a special and positively magical Christmas we had here at Crow Farm! It was full of so much love, fun and surprises. This Christmas will forever be in my heart as one of the most special Christmas’s of all time. My eyes are welling up just thinking about it!

Since the pandemic was still raging on we decided to keep Halloween and Thanksgiving chill again this year. We’re always looking for new traditions for the holidays and I guess the pandemic helped us do things a little differently which isn’t always a bad thing.

Heat is something I love. I would take a 110° day over any 20° day (unless there was a nice cozy fire to sit in front of). Enters Justin…

The nice thing about making a mistake last year and buying a straight run of ducklings (ending up with only one female) was that we got to get another whole batch at the end of summer. This time I bought through Metzer Farms online who offered pre-sexed ducklings of the breeds of my choosing. I was more than willing to pay the extra money to have them send me only females!

There is never a dull moment or an empty list of “Things To Do” around here which is both exciting and sometimes overwhelming. We packed in a lot of fun things this summer to keep our love buckets full, so to speak.
