Hey y’all. If you follow me on Facebook, you’ve been seeing my posts about what’s happening where I live in south central Kansas. If you don’t, here’s the deal … Monday afternoon, we were alerted to a large wildfire burning just a few miles to the east of our homestead.

The truth is we’ve been in a drought for the past 8 years and we desperately need the moisture.

(Don’t judge – QVC is awesome and awesome people like me shop there.) Since then I’ve been taking pictures of pretty much everything around The Farm – kids, animals, scenery, dirt.
