The beginning ...

 Welcome! 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5 

Its been a long time since I sat down to write a post. Almost 5 years now I guess.  A lot can happen in the blink of an eye.

 So much can change so fast, that it becomes a snowball effect. One day you find out that the life you were living was all an illusion, a lie. And then the snowball starts to roll. And before it stops at it's final resting place it has grown to a gigantic orb. And while it was moving it wiped out almost everything in sight. Nothing left to do, but salvage what you can and start over.

And so that is exactly what I have done these past years ... However, I am not quite finished yet. One last project ... One last temporary home, before I go home for good. Before I meet my Heavenly Father.

Now, some of you may remember me, some of you maybe not. 

I was a shepherdess to a flock of fiber sheep. I had a beautiful farm, sold on Etsy, Facebook and on my site White Sheep Farm.com. Most all of my handmade items were one of a kind. I had a beautiful flock of sheep, wonderful gardens, which included gourds, sweet Annie, Elderberry, bittersweet and much more. I had a great side business. I invited people into my farm and life via a weekly blog, where I did give aways, tutorials and quick crafts. I lived the life I loved and I worked hard for it. But as said, it changed in a blink of the eye.

My Farmhouse ...


So here I am 65 years old ... I sold my flock of sheep ... I sold the farm and every piece of furniture in it. I kept my spinning wheels and a few family pieces. I walked out and didn't look back. I couldn't look back. 

I stayed with a friend, and looked for property. I bought a foreclosure and for a year and a half I worked night and day. I will show those photos next time 

It was a great diversion and a challenge. But, I just could not feel at home. There has been something missing. And once I sat still long enough,  I knew it was me. I knew I didn't belong here. I knew I had no place here where I could sit in silence, no place to grow, no place to smell the earth, no place to feel close to nature and meditate. No place that brought peace to my soul. So I searched for a new place. And I found it! 

So I hope you will join me on my journey to get back to what I love ... And make this place the last temporary home I own, until I'm called home.

Well, I guess this is where I will leave this post. If you read or even find this blog... Leave me a comment.

  Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof. Matthew 6:34 Good morning ... Well here it is ... another week has flown right by me. I feel like I barley get to see Monday and I turn around and its Friday. Which makes me think back to my days of employment when I worked for the company that sells everything from A➡Z. I used to wish for Fridays on Monday!   So how ironic is it, that here I am with all those wished days now coming true and are at hand? Bad timing ... Or another lesson on this journey called life. I can only give this piece if advice ... Be careful what you wish for. Take each day as it comes ... Good or bad, as they both are created by God.  You see, without the bad ... We certainly would never appreciate the good. Something that I have learned over these past years. But there is also the school of thought that a bad can ultimately lead to something ...

  A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,   for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?  To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom,   knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth t o hand it over to the one who pleases God.  This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 2:24-26  Good morning ... I have worked hard my entire life. At age 13 I had to go to work to help my family out. My father had a brain hemorrhage at age 48. He, by the Grace of God, survived. However, he had to learn how to do everything again. Paralyzed on one side of his body and vision in only one eye. He stayed many months in the VA hospital and came home almost as bad as he was in the first day after his brain hemorrhage.  The VA hospitals at that time were horrible, so my mother brought him home. To which he...
