How it started

House built by DH great grandparents!

We all have our own beginnings.  It is more about what we do with what we have then how it got started.  But, here is our simple start.  This farm is a fourth generation farm.  My DH great grandfather homesteaded this farm.  His great grandmother followed his great grandfather here two years later.  They had a mixed farm.  They raised holstein cows, pigs, and chickens.  When his grandparents took over the farm, they made it into a grain farm, got rid of all the animals.  That worked well for them as his grandpa also worked off the farm so they didnt have to always be here.  They are passing it on to DH.  I married DH three years ago and moved here.  His dream was always to have it a mixed farm the way his great grandparents had.  This is our story of trying to achieve this now shared dream and raise a very young family at the same time.  And supposedly have time to keep up with this blog!  There will be laughs and dreams, tears and nightmares, but in the end, it will be what it will be.  Hope you at least find it interesting.
