We are not participating in the Rosebud Treasure Day being held today.
Turning my attention to gardening and quiet thoughts on such a beautiful morning.
I hope everyone has a blessed day.

Our homestead and my little farm store will be open or available by appointment only for a little while.
Call or text:

Or if you’ve just stopped by, we do love sharing “the old pioneer ways” and will visit with you when we can.

We’ve had several issues lately that have caused me to really rethink how things are working.
Such as people driving to the little store way too fast. Drive carefully, children playing signs are posted and seemingly ignored by many.

Pets… that’s another issue. A big issue. Dogs mostly. Yes we have pets and we love them just like you do but…. We also have grandchildren. 20 grandchildren. One of which had a bad experience with someone’s dog recently. Everything ended without much physical harm but emotionally, it was really scary and it could have been an entirely different story. I won’t take that chance again. We’ve all heard people say, just as they did, “my dog is very gentle, wouldn’t hurt a fly, doesn’t bite, etc…”

That was the icing on my cake. Our children and our grandchildren are more important to us than anything. Their safety is our priority.
Getting back to family and simplifying life at our homestead.

Hope you understand.
Much love,
Emma
