~God Amidst My 2020~

Spring is most definitely here everyone! With lambs being born, starts up, and the snow almost gone, I can take a deep breath and know fully that summer is on it's way. Little Dolce Basil starts Eva, our Maremma sheepdog. Yes..that is a spruce branch stuck in her fur. 🙂 We like to say that…

A New Chapter~Life Updates

These past few months have been crazy. I am stepping into a new area of life where I am asked to make important decisions and take on larger responsibilities. It's new and exciting and frightening, all at the same time. But I'm not too scared. God's holding me and whispering to me through it all.…
