Hello loyal readers. As you’ve probably noticed from the last few posts, and lack of, things on the farm have been crazy. Summer is usually busy, but this has been insane.
For a few months now, I’ve been thinking about letting the blog go. There are so many wonderful blogs already out there that address writing and offer more experience and information than I have. And it’s hard to write about writing when you don’t have the time to write!
So I’m recommitting to my works-in-progress. I’ll definitely still visit other blogs (plenty still to learn!) and hope to see everyone around Twitter. As my dear friend KCC said, “I’d rather you have an abandoned blog than an abandoned novel.”
It’s been a wonderful two years:
- 209 posts
- 5,873 views
- 480 comments
- $135.00 raised for local libraries through Jenn Hubbard’s Library Lovin’ Blog Challenge
- Countless friends met and words of encouragement received
Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by over these last two years; whether you commented, shared links, or just lurked, I’ll still see you around, hopefully with a completed manuscript on my desk. Wishing you all happy and productive days of writing!

Oh, I’m sad. But it also feels right. And you’re not really going anywhere…if you miss it, you can come back. Sigh. Change is hard. Love the big hugs, and right back at ya!

Aww. I’ll miss your blog, but I totally understand. Hug those sweet animals for me! xoxo

You’re right Kellye, I’m not really going anywhere and change IS hard; thanks so much for all the support. I’ll give the babies big hugs for you, Lara, but will keep the donuts for myself

So sorry to see you go! But I completely understand needing to put your writing first. Good luck!

Thanks for blogging, Sarah! I liked your writing posts, but I’ll admit I was a super sucker for your pics of new calves.
Best of luck on your WIPs!

Thanks Shannon. Glad you enjoyed the baby pics; at the same time I was drooling over your garden!
