What just a couple loads of gravel can do for a property and now if and when it finally rains we won't be walking through mud all over the place. Thanks to Travis from C&H Contracting out of Blanchard for being able to do this job for us!

So greatful to these hard working young man that started their own tree trimming service called Expertrees. We needed to take some branches off that kept getting dropped by the wind and to help curtail future ice storm issues as much as possible. These guys worked all weekend to get the job done and did a fantastic makeover on our front. Set me up for fencing to go in and handled the removal. Their pricing is very reasonable and they are insured and knowledgeable about trees. Tyler is a trained Arborists and sure can help you identify the problems you may have with your fruit trees or other trees on your property.

I could never understand why he choose me,...
I struggled with how he could love someone as chaotic as me,...
I fought all of his affection thinking I didn't deserve it,...
For years I felt there was something wrong with me, something that was broken, because I couldn't regulate like normal people do.

And yet he saw it all, the pain the hurt the potential. He never caged me or limited me. He only showed up and supported every wild idea and dream I ever had.

And for that I will be forever grateful, because he patiently watched me grow into the person I am today and waited till I freed myself from my own shackles imposed by life experiences and society.

I didn't realize I had ADHD… I just thought this was me.

The overthinking.
The starting 10 things and finishing none.
The random bursts of motivation at the worst times.
The exhaustion from trying to “keep it all together.”

I thought I was inconsistent.
Unfocused.
Maybe even a little lazy.

But the truth?

My brain just works differently.

And once I started to understand that… everything shifted.

I stopped asking,
“Why can’t I just be more disciplined?”

And started asking,
“How can I work with my brain instead of against it?”

Now I see it in a completely different light.

The creativity.
The ideas.
The ability to hyper-focus on things I care about.

It was never a flaw.
It just needed the right understanding.

If you’ve been feeling like this too…
You’re not broken.

You might just be wired differently—and that can be your strength.
And the right partner will love you for everything you are!

After Georgia our Cotton Patch Goose inspected the load of gravel I was able to spread it. Glad we got more comming tomorrow. 20T may sound like a lot but really spreads quick. Excited for the property to look better with some nice gravel.

One of my absolute favorite people right here. She is such a strong Momma with such a big vision and a heart of gold. Talk about a homestead hustle while living with values and raising amazing human beings. If you aren't already following her, hit that like button on their page and stay tuned for their new venture Petal Stone, a Merchantile store grounded in nature, organic ingredients made for the local community.

We have so many new followers here, so I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.

My name is Jocelyn, and I’m a first-generation farmer.

I never could have fully imagined that this would be my future, even though my heart desperately longed for this life over 10 years ago. Back then, God called our family to sell our tiny house in the city and buy land. We didn’t know what that would look like, but we chose to be obedient and sold our home.

For several months, we slept on my mother-in-law’s floor while we waited and prayed for the right property. Then this land became available to us, and it has changed our lives.

Since moving here, I’ve taken every hands-on class I could find here in Oklahoma. I’ve read the books, watched the YouTube videos, and done everything I could to learn. But the truth is, there is nothing quite like living it and gaining hands-on experience in the moment.

I would never say this life is easy, because that wouldn’t be true. But I can say with my whole heart that this life brings me the deepest joy and fills my soul in a way nothing else ever has. Getting to do God’s work in this way feels like something truly worth living for.

I am so honored to steward this farm and to begin a tiny micro dairy alongside my family — my husband, Brander, our six children, and our 80 animals here on the farm.

God is so good, and I am so thankful for this life.

“Thank you for being here and following along as we build this life, learn as we go, and share the beauty, hard work, and grace found in farm life.”
