Last year!!?!! Potentially the last year for photos so let's go out with a bang and make it the best one yet. If you have ever planned on coming but not gotten around to it, this is the year to do it!!!
Building starts next week so I just drew up the plans for Joe on what is necessary for this year's fall photos. Bridgerton vibes that include five sets...
1. Stone wall with a stone walkway leading up to a tiny pond. Decorated with pumpkins and greenery.
2. A whole separate covered bridge. Painted red and cute just like this picture.
3. Outdoor wedding vibes that include a comfy lounger with lighting and fall decor making it picturesque.
4. A vintage truck that has yet to be determined how it will be decorated. Obviously fall colors.
5. Photo op in front of the barn with wooden barrels, hay bales and very cute fall decor. Especially now that it's back to a very cute red color lol 😆

My drawing skills leave a lot to be desired so I posted info pictures but I will put the drawing in the comment section

Pictures below are not my photos. Just the sketching in the comments...

Update on Cricket...
He is doing fantastic. Today we left him out in the field by himself while Maggie was cleaning the barn. He did absolutely amazing.. even put himself back in there when the flies became too much lol 😆

Miss Clara...
Clara is doing fantastic. She loves coming out to play with Maverick. These two are loving the last two days of freedom in the pasture. This week we plan to open it up so that all the big guys can enjoy the seeding that took place this spring... It's finally ready to be eaten lol 😆
Thank you so much to all who donated for her testing... We did get almost half the cost which was a huge help so I really appreciate it. We are definitely excited to find out the results so we can create a very fun episode of who's your daddy lol 😆 but honestly it doesn't matter to me what she is. She is just the sweetest, cutest baby I've ever seen!!!
Now that things are slowing down, as soon as we are caught back up on housework and basics, I plan to plan a little vendor event. Plus I need to do a garage sale. Would anybody be opposed to having a garage sale the same day as a vendor event??? Just trying to save days off of work if it wouldn't offend anybody.

Looks like we may have to bump up moving plans depending on if our township becomes an HOA

LEGAL NOTICE

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INPUT MEETING REGARDING POTENTIAL ZONING RESOLUTION AMENDMENTS

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Trustees of Olmsted Township, Ohio, will hold a public input meeting for the purpose of receiving comments and feedback from Township residents, property owners, businesses, and other interested stakeholders regarding potential amendments to the Olmsted Township Zoning Resolution.

Date: Thursday, June 18, 2026
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Location: Community Room, 7900 Fitch Road, Olmsted Twp, Ohio

As part of the Township's ongoing efforts to ensure that zoning regulations remain current and responsive to community needs, priorities, and evolving land use trends, the Township is evaluating several topics that may warrant future amendments to the Zoning Resolution.

Discussion topics will include regulations pertaining to ma*****na dispensaries and related cannabis uses, as well as proposed Section 210.11 – Gardens, Livestock, and Similar Uses. Proposed Section 210.11 would establish standards governing personal gardening and small-scale agricultural activities on residential properties, including provisions related to the keeping of limited livestock, poultry, bees, and similar animals. The proposed regulations would address matters such as lot size requirements, animal density, setbacks, accessory structures, maintenance standards, and compatibility with surrounding properties and neighborhoods.

The purpose of the meeting is to solicit public input regarding the appropriateness of these uses, potential regulatory standards, and their compatibility with existing residential neighborhoods and adjacent properties. Comments received during the meeting will assist the Township in determining whether amendments to the Zoning Resolution should be pursued and, if so, the scope and content of any such amendments.

This meeting is intended solely to facilitate community discussion and gather public input prior to the consideration of any proposed amendments to the Olmsted Township Zoning Resolution. No formal action will be taken at this meeting.

All interested persons are encouraged to attend and participate.

Successful party...
Thank you so much to all who came to Maggie's grad party. It was so nice visiting with everyone and relaxing and enjoying the yard finally all cleaned up.
Clara got to meet a ton of new people as well as Cricket, Maggie's beautiful horse. It was so fun getting to share all the animals with everyone. I know they loved all the extra attention as well.
I apologize to any and all who reached out over the weekend. We are so behind on messages and scheduling but promise to get in touch with everyone over the next day or two... Thank you so much for your patience.

Brenda did it again...
She managed to hide 9 eggs in Joe's workshop. Just when I thought we were done having babies on the farm LOL. She's surprised us with this little one so far.

Keeping Maverick entertained while mom gets snack time is definitely a full time job lol 😆
He did get to meet Cricket today and might be the only one in the barn not intimidated by his size. He just does not care. Maverick is boss!!!!
