Blue Sky Farm

My blogging posts and photos are part of me . I think of this as a scrapbook of my life. The names have not been changed.. they are real people who have crossed my path along my journey. Some I know intimately, my family and friends. If their names are mentioned it's a sure sign they are special to me and I love them dearly...come along see for yourself, perhaps you know some of them too..

A New sign of our time


My son Dennis & his wife Michelle made me this great gift for me for Christmas. I know they put many hours into designing and constructing it. I am very please to share the fruits of their labors.

In the beginning , Clay & I had a dream ...to own a small place of our own where we could have a few chickens, a place where the dog could run and play. Clay could pursue his interest in bee keeping and we could live a simple life and still be free to travel and enjoy our remaining years together. We were fortunate to find this perfect place for us.

Now we have a real sign to claim the property as ours and to declare just what we are doing here besides enjoying our farm life.
We are reading a lot about gardening, soil textures, composting, organic seeds and saving seeds, bee keeping including honey & making candles & soaps, lipbalms, chickens, coops & egg production. This small place could turn into something BIG , to say nothing of a healthy lifestyle.

There are a couple more signs to hang under the BlueSky main sign which may or may not be displayed along with these at the drive way entry like "sleigh rides," "u pick blackberries" Happy Holidays..but you never know our tiny begining could become a local landmark. That's what happens when you dream.
