Whew! Here we are, the maiden posting. I'm excited to share my thoughts and happenings with you all. By way of introduction, I live on a twenty acre farm in the deserts of the western United States. My family and I moved to the farm when I was ten, and what an adventure it has been since! In our time on the farm we have had cows, goats, chickens, turkeys, pigs, guinea hens, dogs and cats. We try to practice earth friendly farming, which includes no-till gardening and rotational grazing. Along with farming, I mentor a theater class of super awesome kids. Today we are going to the local trunk-or-treat to socialize our newest addition, Murphy. He is our massive, sweet, seven month old guard dog. He is a Great Pyrenees/Newfoundland cross. My parents and I have discussed several costume ideas we could do together for this event. We were thinking of doing Wizard of Oz, with Murphy being the lion and Chloe being Toto, but I think we are going to go with us all dressing u
