Welcome To Just BE Farm!

Well, here we are at the beginning of yet another new adventure.....this blog! 

Today is the second anniversary of our commitment to share our lives together, and wow what an exciting and rewarding two years it has been.  We are kindred souls in our passion to be busy and constructive.  We have managed to pack quite a bit into that brief period of time. 

We started our relationship in a standard issue subdivision house with a fenced in backyard and three dogs. Little did we imagine where our adventures together would lead us?

I guess our first adventure occurred when we drove 500 miles to rescue a Weimaraner puppy desperate for a new home.  She had been chained under a junk car in a field and was being hit with a broomstick by some local kids.  The Weimaraner rescue people emailed us with a picture and a request for a new home for her......

......how could we say no? And so it began!!

There have been lots of adventures between now and then but we can sum it up briefly for you in this first post by saying we now live on a ten acre farm complete with 6 dogs, 2 cats, 10 Society finches, 10 Lady Gouldian finches, more than 20 heritage breed chickens, 5 Pygora goats, 6 peacocks and a 75 gallon aquarium.   We have taken up making wine at home and have really enjoyed it.  We also like to travel, so in the last two years we have been to the Mediterranean, Canada, and several US cities.  Our most recent new undertaking is learning to knit.  (We have to do something with the fleece from our gorgeous little goats!)

Over the next few months we plan on keeping you posted on the current activities on the farm, but also plan to pass along some of our other adventures over the last two years.
