As I caught up on my photo editing this weekend, I realized I’ve had one of the best summers of my life. I don’t get to spend as much time on the farm as I would like, but I really enjoy the time I am there. Here’s a few highlights of the summer of 2012:
The farm.
The girls were intrigued by a trespasser one day. Adam took the turtle home to the pond next door.
Despite the drought killing most of the vegetation, I managed to find a little color around the place.
The girls had a wonderful summer too.

Did I really go an entire month without a single blog entry? Perhaps I’ve just been too busy kicking ass with my Cradle List to write about it. But I’ll get to that in a minute. First, to recap the escapades of May.
May 3: I’m driving home from work minding my own business when –
Oh my God, what the crap is that smell? It’s in my mucous membranes! I can’t breathe. I might throw up on my steering wheel! Are those pouches of Dinty Moore being strewn across the highway? Oh no! I’m hitting one. It just splattered all over my undercarriage! More

Time to play another round of Texts From My Husband. By now my friends know the drill- my husband sends me random texts. Most of them are vulgar. Some are just funny in that he chose texting as the method of communication. Anyway, here’s my anniversary edition. More

cool photoshop stuff
I hate when women gush about their spouses all over their blogs, so I have no intention of doing so. That said, sometimes my husband totally kicks ass at being a husband.
I’ve been taking a lot of photos of the farm and trying to learn how to use Photoshop to do cool stuff with them, like this.
Last week I was admiring my sister-in-law’s awesome new camera. So he went out and bought me a new Nikon camera with money he had been saving to buy himself a new toy for the farm.
It was like the Gift of the Magi, but even better since I didn’t have to buy anything for him! More

Don't worry. I got this.
This weekend I used a chainsaw for the first time. Writing this post means I still have all my fingers, which means my first chainsaw adventure was a success!

It seems like the moment you least expect it, your life can change. One day you’re lamenting the fact that you can’t get the place of your dreams because your current house won’t sell. The next day, you’re saying, “Screw it. Let’s take on a second mortgage!”
Ok, before you start giving me financial advice, let me explain.
I’m a farmer now. More
