Welcome to My Home Farm

My Home Farm is about life, love, and the constant change on a farm.

This is my barn in Kentucky
For the past two weeks, I've had time to think. I mean, really think. For the first time in about 23 years, I have been without a job. I've never slept better in my life! No countless emails demanding immediate responses; no managers assigning endless tasks; no surly co-workers to contend with. Just time on the farm, doing what I want to do. 

So what does a suddenly unemployed farm girl do with her time?

1. I've created this blog
2. I've made multiple batches of pesto and quiche for the freezer
3. I visited with my mom who flew out from California
4. I went prairie chicken hunting in Nebraska
5. I spent a week in Kansas at my sweetheart's farm
6. I sold my farm in Kentucky
7. And I just booked a moving truck!

Stay tuned for my adventures in moving and my new life in Kansas. There will be lots to say ...

    wow Karen, we are living in a very similar universe. Our lives & blogs have a lot in common. I hope you remember me from facebook...I am fb fan of Hobby Farms and you are my friend on there - when you said you were leaving your job, I wondered what your next move was. Just like me, you left it all for love. That's the best reason of all.

    Wow, I will miss your editorial column in Hobby Farm magazine, but your new life sounds so full of joy and possibility! I can't wait to read more! I'll be curious, too, to read more about your sweetheart...wondering if he is the editor from KS of another rural magazine I read. ;)

    Hi Karen,

    Just saw the latest issue of Hobby Farms and something was missing!! Your column was always the first I read... ;) Besides Martha Stewart, HF is one of the only magazines I sit down with cover to cover! lol

    I'll miss your insight in the magazine, but now I've found your online "front porch" and I'll be a frequent reader.

    Hope to see you at a festival again sometime... Jot me a line (via our email on our site), if you have some spare moments... I always enjoyed chatting with you, even though it was brief!

    God bless you in your new adventure! Cherish every moment!
