I started this blog post a long time ago, when Skeet and Bandit and I arrived at the farm back in the beginning of July, and I had high hopes of settling into a routine that included regular updates. It has been a lot like heading downhill on a black diamond ski run as a beginner since then, to be quite honest.
How could I have thought it would be otherwise?
At this point in the story telling, with the long, hot drive from California to Kentucky just a faded memory, 4 months and two seasons under our belts, cows up on the pastures eating hay and winter knocking at the door, I don’t think it’s possible to catch up on the details. I’m not sure I can even write a decent synopsis of the events that have packed my days since arriving here on the 3rd of July. No, I just need to get started back to posting, which will be a huge achievement in itself.
I’ll try to explain as I go. It’ll be skippy for awhile, I’m sure, but eventually this narrative should smooth out, the missing pieces will get filled in, and it’ll start sounding more like the story of a woman starting up a small farm, instead of just dreaming about doing it.
Bear with me, please. The adventure has just begun…

Well to start with you could draw together all the “FB” posts and use them as an outline for more details; or just string them together with dates included for points of reference.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what has kept me from getting back here – wanting to “do it right” by filling in all the details turns into an insurmountable roadblock. So rather than let that completely stop the flow, I’m just going to start where I am. A link to my FB page isn’t a bad idea, though…
Came by earlier this week and wondered how you’re doing. Glad to see you’re posting again.
Sandra, I hope I have turned the corner and can keep it up!
Bravo! Glad you are posting and looking forward to more!
