Blog Update!

Good afternoon! I suppose it's time to update you all as to WHY I haven't posted on here much lately. We've decided to switch over to primarily doing YouTube. I try to post new videos at least once a week, but sometimes I upload as often as every couple of days! 

Here's the link, in case it is not visible elsewhere on the blog:


And here are a few links to some of our most recent videos:






I hope that you can all check it out, and thanks for stopping by here!

Bountiful Beauty

I cannot even describe the level of contentment I feel while spending time outside. Everything is so full of life right now and there is beauty around every corner. I love our little plot of earth and feel so blessed.
Our baby tomatoes, coming in nicely. I'm doing container gardening again this year, since I'm not sure if the grasshoppers will make their return this summer or not. So far we haven't seen a single one, but it's still early.
 
One of my "new" roses, given to me by my mom two years ago. It is SO full of buds!
 
Above, one of our Knockout rose bushes.
 
The two little guys love spending time in the yard...
 
As you can see by all the toys, our new "rose garden" is a favorite place to play.
 
An "old" rose that was here when we moved in.
 
This was a surprise... a strange-looking "bush" that up until this spring had never had so much as a flower on it, now has baby peaches!
 
This is our massive old rose bush that we've discovered actually has two smaller roses growing under/within it. It's so wonderful seeing all the beautiful surprises in nature!

Our journey begins...

Welcome to Twelve Acres! I hope you enjoy your time spent here... I know I do! Twelve Acres came into our lives June of 2011. We happened upon the "For Sale" ad one day and completely fell in love with this 1934 farmhouse and surrounding barns and pastures. I will be using this blog as a sort of journal- as we remodel, build, fence, dig, till, and grow our way to having our very own slice of Heaven here on Earth.

Our farmhouse the day we first saw it. Love at first sight!
