Another picture caught on my rainy day drive. This one of the creek hangout spot. Always wondering when the creek will take this cool area away. The creek is always changing the banks.

I drove around on a rainy day and just grabbed some farm pictures. It’s still cool to see how this place changes with the weather and the season. Here is one of the newest field.

Real farm update.

The Murray Cypress and Carolina Sapphires are absolutely wearing me out right now.

Today I cut down and burned around 30 trees that I just don’t think had a chance. Some of the ones I already spent hours trying to save and trim are starting to look the same again.

At the same time, the weeds are coming back, I still need another fungicide application, and then I catch myself wondering…

Why did I plant sunflowers too? 😅🌻

There’s just so much going on and so little of me.

What people may not always realize is this farm isn’t our full-time job.

Most days I’m tied up in my day job. Chastity stays busy with real estate. Gregory’s been balancing wrestling, fixing equipment, mowing, and helping keep things moving.

The farm exists somewhere in the middle of all of that.

And lately I’ve been thinking…

Maybe I’m trying to build too much for this phase of life.

I cleared a new field because I’m always thinking ahead and building for the future—but maybe the answer right now isn’t expanding.

Maybe it’s simplifying.

I’d love to one day spend more time on the farm, but realistically my day job is what allows this place to exist and grow in the first place.

I enjoy working on the farm.

I don’t enjoy constantly feeling behind.

I didn’t start this to create more stress or lose every weekend trying to catch up.

So maybe success right now doesn’t mean more trees.

Maybe success means building something smaller that I can actually enjoy and manage well.

The new field isn’t going anywhere.

Maybe one day when life slows down I expand into it.

But right now I’m trying to remember that not every opportunity has to happen immediately.

Maybe this season is about doing less… better.

Back after it tomorrow.

OFFICIAL UPDATE FROM KELSO CREEKS COUNTY JAIL:

After an overwhelming public vote and a lengthy family review process… the inmate has officially been named and released. 😂🐾

Congratulations to SPRUCE 🌲 (Chastity’s pick) for winning in a landslide.

Charges of:
- nonstop meowing 🎤
- harassment of Mr. Jingels 😾
- theft of ATV hardware from Gregory’s projects (sorry again Tim Pate 😅)
- unauthorized property management
- and disturbing the peace…

…have been reduced to time served.

However…

Spruce has NOT earned full freedom.

He has been placed on house arrest until he is old enough to become a productive member of the farm and complete barn cat training. 🐭

Current training progress:
❌ Mouse count: 0
❌ Productivity: low
❌ Respect for authority: nonexistent
✅ Ambushing Mr. Jingels
✅ Chasing his own tail like it owes him money
✅ Getting corrected by senior management daily

Mr. Jingels has officially been assigned as Spruce’s barn cat training instructor.
Her training methods include:
surprise disciplinary action
attitude adjustments
teaching boundaries
and reminding Spruce that not everything on this farm exists for his entertainment.

At this time, Mr. Jingels reports progress has been limited.

We remain hopeful Spruce eventually graduates from “tiny criminal” to “productive barn employee.”

Thanks to everybody that voted and helped name the newest member of Kelso Creeks. 🌲🐾

Extremely vocal.
Zero remorse.

We may have accidentally acquired a new farm cat…😬

Now here is the problem,
Nobody can agree on the name.

Here’s the plan:
Each of us picked a name, and we’re going to let you decide what this little farm menace gets called. 🐾

Poll coming soon…and honestly my choice is the best, but why not let yall tell my family that.

Thought I stepped on soft dirt while trimming today…

Turns out it was a fully operational fire ant city. 🐜🔥

About half a second later, thousands of tiny angry residents informed me I was not welcome there. 😅

Luckily, I escaped before ending up with ants in my pants… which would’ve really changed the direction of the day.

Pretty sure my boots hit speeds they weren’t designed for. 🚜💨

Moral of the story:
The trees aren’t the only things out here that bite back. 🌲

Attempting sunflowers for the first time… and honestly, we don’t really know what we’re doing. 😅

Right now it mostly looks like weeds with a few tiny sunflower plants poking through the dirt, but thanks to some good rain last week, we’re finally starting to see signs of life. 🌧️

Hopefully in a few months this field looks a whole lot different—less weeds and a whole lot more sunflowers. 🌻

If things work out, we’d love to eventually invite people out for pictures, walking the field, and maybe even picking sunflowers.

For now… fingers crossed and learning as we go. 🤞🚜
