We have only been trailering our horse ourselves for a few years, but typically Lynn is the one at the wheel. The kids had rodeo camp recently - to which they needed to bring Sassy - and Lynn had an unexpected meeting to attend. That left yours truly as the only option for a driver. I have been riding horses since I was 5 years old, but I have never driven a trailer of any kind. I got one quick 10 minute lesson around the neighborhood and then off we went. Thankfully the arena is only five minutes from our house and I was able to take back roads most of the way. Of course, as a 33-year old horse who has traveled to Seattle and back twice, Sassy is a dream horse for a newbie. We made it safely and I feel much more confident now.

We met Nathan outside Tractor Supply after a hard day’s work. Lily told him, “You stink!” 🤣And she was right. Nathan does pregnancy checks on cows by sticking his arm up their rectum. He was covered in manure and he told us he will just wash his clothes and start over again tomorrow.
Speaking of pregnancy, I had my kids late, at 38 and 41-years old. I took the fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture daily for a packed food-based source of vitamins A, D & K. I used to get chronic cavities and my problem vanished when I started taking this product. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
Lily is such a great seamstress already at 6-years old. Her sewing capabilities are only topped by her ability to find all kinds of bugs around the farm. Yesterday she found a praying mantis and brought it to sewing class. I think the mantis actually enjoyed making a purse.
The kids take their fermented cod liver/ butter oil every day, just like I do. Gotta keep our teeth nice and strong! if you use “ALISON” as your promo code to check out, you get 10% off! https://greenpasture.org/
We did it. We fought telecom and won. An industry worth trillions of dollars with copious federal protections. Just one ex-TV reporter and my motley crew of friends along with our rural middle class neighborhood. The Citrus County Planning & Development Commission denied the permit for the cell tower proposed next to our farm. What an incredible day.
This is likely not the end. There could be a federal lawsuit. The attorney could resubmit for a shorter tower. For now though, we celebrate - or nap.
This morning I was puking my guts up from stress, praying that God would get me through this day. The benefit of a situation like this is that it allows us to confront every identity we believe limits or defines us and watch God do the work. An old family friend and pastor told me once that courage is not lack of fear - it is acting despite it. It hit me a while back that it matters less what happens with the cell tower than how I react to it. “What does it profit a man to gain the world (or ...
