as the family grows and day flows, I can't help but wonder what is to come

upon the horizon

beyond the clouds
what's the plan for dinner



 
looking down at these big brown eyes....




summer is so easy going care free with a quick meal from the garden 

the kind that makes you feel good

am I going to run tomorrow morning? how about those weeds along the path?  I have to order the meat birds....

moments are strung together like those beans I cannot seem to reach on the trellis

life is so hot sometimes it's like I'm stamping my feet crazily upon this burning fire of opportunity....smoldering it out....I don't want to see it's blaze, feel it's heat

there isn't a day that passes that I don't notice how interconnected we are to this landscape

sheltering

shading

feeding

sharing beauty

providing song

that's why I feel it's so providential that creating the October Event around the ebb and flow of the prairie life...living with the prairie, living with the seasons

enjoying the diverse landscape that is ever moving, changing



~in a world full of confusion, remember that you are worthy, connected, and lovely~



not puffed up

or theatrical

na.da.farm.....our home....our place on this earth......
(if you would like to take a drive out to our farm, October 7th & 8th we would love to see you and share some time here with you for a Prairie Holiday barn sale/event)

  8. Anne-Marie...you need to sit down and author a book, girl. The way you write is truly a gift from God and it just reaches in touches my soul...deeply. The way you live tugs at my heart. Clean, simple, loving, and all about family and nature. You are amazing. You are my role model. ♥

  11. You are an inspiration to me. Now since living in the desert I understand the hunan interconnection with the landscape and nature. I absolutely love it. There is something to be said for living out in the "country". It makes you ponder on your blessings and make you appreciate life just that much more.

  13. I'm so glad to visit your blog and hope to visit your farm for your barn sale--I just read about it in Midwest Living. We also are a homeschooling family and I write over at the Raising Homemakers blog. I hope to get a group of friends together to come see your farm.
    Blessings,
